  New Microsoft Office subscription bundle to hit in mid-July
Time: 15:15 EST/20:15 GMT | News Source: | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft has given its new Office-based software-plus-service bundle a new name — “Equipt” — and a due date (mid-July), company officials said on July 2.

Equipt is the product/service that was formerly codenamed “Albany” (and inside Microsoft, known as “ValueBox”). Equipt, which Microsoft describes as its “essential set of software and services for consumers,” includes a version of Office Home and Student 2007; Windows Live OneCare, Microsoft’s PC management/security bundle; a few Windows Live communication/collaboration services; and Office Live Workspace, Microsoft’s online-collaboration add-on to Office.

Too bad MS didn't include Outlook 2007. That would make the subscription more compelling. Right now one can buy Office Home and Student 2007 on sale for as low as $119 and install it on three machines for less than two years of subscription. Avira AntiVir and AVG are superior to One Care when it comes to XP protection. This initial offer seems like a trial balloon, which is wise on MS's part. Until the price drops by $20 per year or Outlook is added, I will keep recommending my customers buy the retail product.
