Microsoft Equipt: The Subscription-based Microsoft Office Bundle

]]> Many consumers can’t afford to purchase the licensed version of Microsoft Office, and as a result  — some opt into piracy.

Now, Microsoft unveiled Microsoft Equipt, which was code-named ‘Albany‘ earlier this year.

Microsoft Equipt offers consumers Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, giving them the latest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote for their personal and school projects; Windows Live OneCare, the all-in-one security and PC management service; Windows Live tools, such as Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Photo Gallery so they can connect and share with people they care about most; and Office Live Workspace, a new service from Microsoft that makes it easy to save documents to a dedicated online Workspace and share them with friends and classmates. Anytime a new version of Office or Windows Live OneCare is released, Microsoft Equipt customers will get the version upgrades as part of their subscriptions.

The Microsoft Equipt will be out in mid-July 2008 and will be available in the US through Circuit City stores. The retail price would be $69.99 for a one-year renewable subscription. According to Bryson Gordon, group product manager, Microsoft Office, “With Microsoft Equipt we’re improving our customers’ computing experience by giving them essential software in a package that offers an easy install and setup experience, as well as a convenient and affordable way to stay updated with the latest versions of Office and Windows Live OneCare.”

Microsoft’s Project Albany

]]> Well, rumors has it that a project named ‘Albany’ from Microsoft will target to compete with Google Docs. How?

According to many news, ‘Albany’ is a combined package of Office, Office Live Workspaces, Windows Live OneCare, and Windows Live Suite.

Microsoft sees every opportunity of competition as a challenge and now, trying to get Google Docs and Google Apps space. Will this new package be sufficient to deliver a more productive office suite? Will they have it at the right price? Perhaps, we can answer all these after its detailed announcement from Microsoft itself. But when? I hope soon.
