Microsoft are trying to sell me Microsoft Basic 365 for £19.99 PA.

Does anyone else pay for it (Microsoft) or would it be a waste of money.
Thanks in anticipation.

Seems to be extra storage and free e-mail. Not something I'd pay £20/pa for myself but YMMV.

Is it the Office suite of products? Word, Excel etc? If so, if you've already got them you'd get a load of new functionality which you'd never use. If you haven't already got them the free lookalike is nearly as good.

You are sure it's M$ trying to sell to you and not some sort of scam?

No, essentially it's just 100 GB of cloud storage.

I think the answer is yes but.....

The Office stuff is available but only online.

I'm still using Office 2010 at home. Work says we have to use Google Docs etc.

My Office 2013 got some sort of update recently which rather surprised me, even though it is a pukka paid-for version.

I couldn't tell you what the changes were but they definitely happened!!

Thanks for all your useful replies.
As i don't use Office i don't see any point in increasing Microsoft's already vast profit's.

I am a little surprised that greengrocers have much use for any computer software?
