I may be bucking the trend here, but I think Office 365 is actually quite good value for what you get.

What is it that you get over a permanent version of Office 2016?

With respect, I was looking for the specifics. I understand that you get updates/upgrades. I just dont know what they are.

it is actually. as long as the seller "sells" the motherboard (which they actually do but not actually deliver) with the OEM it is perfectly legal.

OEM is. The source of the keys could be a different matter.

In my case, five licences for never out of date Office that are shared amongst my family, each with 1 Tb of cloud storage and an hour of Skype a month. Works out at £14 per person per year.

How is Office 2016 out of date? The fundamental functions of the software are the same. This claim seems a bit overrated to be honest.

unforeseen

Not out of date he. Standard support finishes 2020 so no security updates etc after that point unless you are a business with extended support

After that it will only be Office365 with its update policy similar to Win10 that will be supported.

So in a nutshell, the only Office for life is Office365

Could have just reused the Office product key off your old computer and reinstalled the older version of Office on your new computer.

Not many folk actually need the latest super duper version of Office. I'm still rocking Office 2007 on my main machine. Does what I need.
