I saw this, any good?Buy Microsoft Office Standard 2013 Key

http://www.go2keys.com/microsoft-office-standard-2013-p-177.html


Prices seem far too low.
The only contact details are a yahoo.com e-mail.
Very poor English on the website. For example.
(Chargeback is bad thing bor both sides (for You and for our store) in 100% occasions, because if you would like to get your money back - just place refund request by sending email to us)
Unable to register software:
Also please note that you will not be able to get a support from manufacturer and register your product online, because you're buying OEM software.


Personally, I wouldn't buy from them.

I would be very cautious about using them (and other cut price offerings). I did recently consider using them but they are _too_ cheap.

Then we bought from Amazon - admittedly a marketplace seller but supplied 'by Amazon'. The Office packet was a brilliant copy - but you were directed to download from an 'unofficial' website not the Office one. Amazon refunded without question.

Finally bought it from Ebuyer without any problems.

Have you tried Open Office. Its a free to download from their web site. Make sure you download from official site though. Its similar to Microsoft Office.
I have used it for years and never had any problems.

Another option would be to purchase the cheapest Windows 8.1 tablet you can find which has a year's free subscription to Office 365. This will allow you to download Office software to your PC.

Probably cost you between £60-£80.

The downside is that it only gives you 1-year's access to the software you are looking for but you do get a "free" tablet.

Has anyone tried this in UK?

I do not mind buying a one off for personal use home edition but I do not want to pay yearly subscription. Currently I have got office 2007, I cannot remember renewal subscription with previous ones. Will office works if you apply for jobs, will it open job applications with no problem. My friend said she cannot open some jobs applications on her laptop. Thanks

Ridiculously overpriced software imo. Same as Microsoft operating systems.


Torrent sites are your friend.


However, if you don't mind reduced functionality, I've found the free online versions accessed from within Hotmail to be more than sufficient.

Also torrents can and are riddled with virus/malware and trojans so its not a wise choice really.

Then my 'friend' must've been extremely lucky to have no malware issues in his 20 years of frequenting such sites.


Maybe a £1 on the lottery this week.


Fear is a path to the dark side gentlemen.... and to a lower bank balance.

Out of interest, does your 'friend' also bypass his electricity meter, and drive away from petrol stations without paying?
