Anyone using Office 365? How do you like it?
That was the sweet spot for the SP3, mainly because that was the lowest configuration with 8 GB of RAM. And the SP4 in that configuration is the same price as the SP3 was before being discounted. That's the configuration I bought, and have never regretted it; even with the SP4 offering more for the same price.

This is without a doubt the finest computer I have ever owned, and I've owned a few, beginning with an Atari 400 (hardware hacked to a whole 16 KB of RAM).

And O365 has become the go to method of obtaining Office. At a hundred bucks a year for five full blown office subscriptions, which would cost several hundred each it'll take quite a few years to spend as much as discreet licenses. And that's not even taking into account the other benefits like a hosted Exchange server, SharePoint portal and One Drive.

Years ago, I initially bought O365 for the hosted Exchange server alone. Then it was six dollars per month and the nearest competitor was charging a bit over ten, it wasn't till later that I began to realize all the other benefits.
