Microsoft Office costs money, except when it doesn’t. From a hidden 60 day free trial that doesn’t require payment details to web apps and mobile apps, there are many ways to get Office for free.
Office is still one of Microsoft’s big cash cow, so you can’t just download a free full version of Office 2013 and use it forever. But there are ways to use Office without ever spending a dime — if only for a few months.

Microsoft offers a free month of Office 365 Home Premium, which allows you to use Office on multiple PCs and Macs. The only downside here is you’ll have to provide payment details at the time of download. You’ll  have to cancel your service before the free month ends or Microsoft will start charging you $9.99 per month.

Microsoft also offers a free 60-day trial of Office Professional Plus 2013. Unlike the standard Office 365 Home Premium trial, this free trial doesn’t require any payment information. You can also use a hidden trick to extend your free trial period and gain more time. You have to extend your free trial period before it expires, however — if you let your free trial expire, you can’t extend it further.
The Office Professional Plus Trial gives you a download link and a product key you can enter. Microsoft requires you install a download manager and you end up with an .IMG file, which isn’t a convenient format. It’s as if they want to make this process confusing so average Windows users don’t use it.
We recommend using the 7-Zip file archiver to extract the .IMG file’s contents. You don’t have to burn anything to disc — just run the setup.exe file after extracting it to install Office on your computer.
After installing Office, click Enter a product key instead in the Activate Office window and enter the product key Microsoft gave you.

Office Online

A Free Microsoft Office: Is Office Online Worth Using?
Microsoft’s Office Online is a completely free, web-based version of Microsoft Office. This online office suite is clearly competing with... [Read Article]
Microsoft’s Office Online service is completely free. It’s a web-based version of Office you can use in your web browser. It works with documents stored in your OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) account, not with documents on your computer. Word Online and its siblings are more limited and can’t be used offline, but they should offer excellent compatibility with Office document formats. Office Online gives you a way to use Microsoft Office for free on any PC, Mac, Linux system, or Chromebook.
Office Online lacks most of Office’s features, but most people don’t use all those features. It’s not all lacking, either — Office Online actually offers better real-time collaboration featuresthan the desktop version of Office 2013 does.

Office Mobile was previously free online on Windows Phone devices, while the Android and iPhone versions of Office required an Office 365 subscription. The Office Mobile apps for Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone are now free to everyone. Like Office Online, they work with documents stored in your OneDrive account. You can now use Office Mobile on your smartphone for free, and Office Online on your PC for free.
Office for iPad does require an Office 365 subscription to edit documents, however.

OneNote is now free for everyone. Microsoft’s note-taking service offers applications for the Windows desktop, Mac, Windows 8, the web, iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Phone — practically any platform you’d want to use. Make no mistake, this is a note-taking application, so you won’t be composing Word documents, constructing spreadsheets, or putting together presentations. Many Office users on Windows loved OneNote, and it’s now a free and worthy competitor to Evernote.

Windows Devices With Free Office Included


What You Need to Know About Buying Touch-Enabled Windows 8.1 PCs
It has now been over a year since Windows 8 was released. A lot has happened — we’re now on... [Read Article]
Some Windows PCs come with a free copy of Microsoft Office. If you buy these devices, you’ll be able to use Office without paying a monthly fee or buying a boxed copy. As a general rule, Microsoft is including a free copy of Office on lower-end devices you wouldn’t want to run Office on, while you’ll have to pay for Office on higher-end devices you would want to run Office on.
  • Windows RT Devices: Windows RT is almost dead and you’ll only find it on Microsoft’s Surface 2 and original Surface (also known as the Surface RT). This version of Windows can’t run any non-Microsoft desktop applications, but it does include a free copy of Office on the desktop.
  • 8-inch and Smaller Windows 8.1 Tablets: If you buy an 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet, you’ll get a free copy of Microsoft Office with it. Of course, it won’t work too well — Office’s natural environment is a larger display with a keyboard and mouse, not an eight-inch touch screen. Luckily, you can always connect such smaller tablets to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and turn that tablet into a desktop PC.
  • Some Low-End Windows 8.1 Devices: Some other lower-end Windows 8.1 devices include a free copy of Office. For example, the $349 ASUS Transformer Book T100 convertible includes a free copy of Office, even though it has a 10-inch screen. On more expensive devices — for example, Microsoft’s Surface Pro devices — you won’t get a free copy of Office.

Microsoft Office isn’t the only game in town when it comes to Office software. Here are some other free office suites you may want to choose from:
  • Google Docs: Available online on the Google Drive website and in the Google Drive apps for Android, iPhone, and iPad, Google Docs allows you to work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You can enable offline access and use Google Dos when you don’t have an Internet connection.
  • Apple iWork: iWork, Apple’s simplified office suite, is free to new Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices. It isn’t just for these devices, though — you can access a web-based version of iWork on the iCloud website, allowing you to use iWork even on Windows PCs.
  • LibreOffice: LibreOffice is a free office suite that sprang from OpenOffice.org. It’s a full-featured office suite that runs on your PC and provides lots of features. This office suite still looks like Office 2003 — it doesn’t have a ribbon.
  • Abiword: Abiword is a nice option if you just want the basics. It’s not fancy, but it’s small, very lightweight, and offers the basic word-processing features most people need.

There are other considerations if you’re using Microsoft Office for business purposes. For example, the free versions of Office that come with some Windows devices are technically “Home and Student” licenses, so you’d be violating the license if you used them for business use. Office 365 Home Premium also has a license that specifically prohibits commercial use.

  • Enterprise mode for Internet Explorer is still present as well.
The build number is : 6.3.9600.16608.WINBLUES14_GDR_LEAN.14013 0-2030

Get iOS And Android Remote Desktop Apps For Windows Server 2012 R2

windows_server_remote_desktop
And the big question here, friends and foes, is that where on the good green earth is the Windows Phone version of the remote client? Microsoft, obviously, has a bit of a habit of prioritizing its iOS and Android apps, sometimes ahead of Windows Phone ones.
Take the official Skype clients, for instance.
This usually has got a lot to do with the titanic market share of these two competing mobile platforms. Now Redmond has just announced that it will be providing some extra incentive to users of its latest server operating system in the form of Remote Desktop apps.
These landmark new apps will allow remote connections to Windows Server 2012 R2.
Microsoft made these new apps official in a brief mention in a press release that actually talks about Redmond’s cloud-based enterprise software services.
And while the company has not actually talked about these apps in details, Michael Roth, a Microsoft desktop services side MVP has posted more information about these apps on his blog today, saying:
“When you see the clients you’ll notice they are pretty sweet and not as basic or as ‘v1′ as you might expect. The iOS Remote Desktop app supports iOS 6 and 7 and the Android Remote Desktop app is posed to support Android versions as far back as Gingerbread.
The OS X Remote Desktop app provides even more functionality that you would expect from a ‘desktop app’. Think about ‘seamless windows’ or ‘applications portal’.”
While this is a welcome strategy from Microsoft and seems that the company is very much open to releasing its software products on a number of different platforms, a Windows Phone app would actually be very much welcome by the loyal and dedicated user base.
Fingers crossed that a Windows Phone Remote Desktop app for Windows Server 2012 R2 is announced very soon.
Speaking of announcements, Redmond has not actually offered a specific release date and pricing for the iOS and Android clients, only confirming that the apps are on track for release later this month.
The company will also release new and updated versions of its Remote Desktop apps for Windows, Windows RT and OS X.

Due To Slow Windows 8 Sales , Ballmer Couldn't Get 21% Of His Target Bonus

NOTE: If you want to buy win 7  win 8 pro ,office 2010 , office 2013 key with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/
ballmer_bonus
It can be said with reasonably certitude that the past year or so was slow for PC industry in general and Microsoft in particular. Sustained decline in computers meant that overall sales of Windows 8 suffered as a result.
And the company has revealed some rather interesting details in a new proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this week. Without providing too many specifics, Redmond confirmed that sales were below expectations for both Windows 8 and the Surface RT.
Here is what the company mentioned in the fiscal year 2013 proxy statement:
“The company faced challenges due to weakness in the consumer PC market. While the launch of Windows 8 in October 2012 resulted in over 100 million licenses sold, the challenging PC market coupled with the significant product launch costs for Windows 8 and Surface resulted in an 18% decline in Windows Division operating income.
Slower than anticipated sales of Surface RT devices and the decision to reduce prices to accelerate sales resulted in a $900 million inventory charge.”
The board was less than impressed with the recent performance of both these key products. The result being that Ballmer received only 79 percent of his eligible incentive award for the company’s fiscal year 2013, compared to the corresponding figures of 91 percent in fiscal year 2012.
This still translates to total payments of $1.25 million for the outgoing Microsoft CEO in fiscal year 2013, which include a base salary of $697,500 and a bonus of $550,000.
For comparison’s sake, Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner, Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood and Office president Kurt DelBene all received 100 percent of their incentive payments. Satya Nadella, the Server and Tools head, on the other hand, has been granted 105 percent of his bonuses.

Windows 8.1 : Pricing and Packaging

NOTE: If you want to buy win 7  win 8 pro ,office 2010 , office 2013 key with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/
For consumers with Windows 8 devices today, Windows 8.1 will be a free update via an easy download from the Windows Store* starting on October 18th**. Windows 8.1 will be a must-have update for those devices - bringing new features and improvements such as greater personalization, Bing Smart Search, and more than 20 new and improved Microsoft apps and services. We are excited to be delivering such an important update to customers in just one month and nearly a year after launching Windows 8. However we also recognize there will be some folks who may want to upgrade devices running older versions of Windows to Windows 8.1. The information in this blog post is meant for those people.
Consumers who are not using a Windows 8 device will be able to buy Windows 8.1, either as a download from Windows.com or at your local store as a retail packaged DVD product. While pricing varies by market, in the U.S., Windows 8.1 will be available for $119.99 ERP (U.S.) and Windows 8.1 Pro will be available for $199.99 ERP (U.S.). The pricing and editions for Windows 8.1 are similar to what we have today for Windows 8.
Win8.1_Boxshot_LeftAngleWin8.1_Pro_Boxshot_LeftAngleWin8.1_ProPack_Boxshot_LeftAngle
One shift to note in Windows 8.1 is that we will be offering “full version software” at retail and online for download that does not require a previous version of Windows in order to be installed. The copy of Windows 8 that is currently available for sale at retail and online is an “upgrade version.” This shift allows more flexibility for customers in specific technical scenarios and is in response to feedback we’ve received. It will be easier for those consumers who want to build PCs from scratch, run Windows 8.1 in Virtual Machine (VM) environments, or run Windows 8.1 on a second hard drive partition.
For non-Windows 8 devices, here is how upgrading to Windows 8.1 using the retail DVD and download software will work:
  • Windows 7: Consumers can upgrade a Windows 7 PC which will bring along all their files, but will require them to reinstall desktop apps including Microsoft Office.
  • Windows XP & Windows Vista: Windows 8.1 is not designed for installation on devices running Windows XP or Windows Vista. Although not designed or recommended for devices running Windows XP or Windows Vista, consumers still wanting to upgrade from Windows XP or Windows Vista should buy the retail DVD instead of using the download and boot from the DVD to do a clean install of Windows 8.1. Note: files, settings and programs will not transfer – Consumers will need to back up their files and settings, perform clean installation, and then reinstall their files, settings and programs.
If you buy a device later this year that comes with the Windows 8.1 edition, you will be able to purchase the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack for $99.99 ERP (U.S.), which unlocks all of the great features unique to Pro, as well as Windows Media Center. If you are on Windows 8.1 Pro, you can buy Windows Media Center for $9.99 (U.S.).
If you are on the market for a new device today, I suggest taking advantage of our PC Selectorto find the right Windows 8 device that is perfect for you. And remember, you will be able to update your device to Windows 8.1 for free through the Windows Store.
Windows 8.1 evolves Windows 8, bringing the latest advancements in hardware, apps and services and the OS to enable a unique experience in everything you do.
More to come on Windows 8.1 including new devices and retail offers as we near October 18th!
* Internet access required; fees may apply.
** Starting at  4:00am October 17th in Redmond.

Windows 9 Could Unify Desktop, Tablet And Smartphone Apps

NOTE: If you want to buy win 7  win 8 pro ,office 2010 , office 2013 key with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/
Not always do you see Microsoft talk about future strategy in such detail, but the company was in a candid mood at the 2013 financial analyst meeting that took place on Thursday.
Terry Myerson, the head of Microsoft’s Operating Systems division confirmed that offering a common experience across all Windows devices is a priority for the company right now — and this means desktops, tablets and smartphones could be unified.
The senior executive explained that users should be provided with the same apps no matter what Microsoft platform they are using, and this means that the separate app stores could be merged in the very near future, probably with Windows 9:
“We really should have one silicon interface for all of our devices. We should have one set of developer APIs on all of our devices. And all of the apps we bring to end users should be available on all of our devices.
Each of our devices require a tailored experience to be really special for the customer, whether that’s a three-inch phone, or it’s a 9-inch tablet, or a 14-inch clamshell, or a 60-inch television playing Xbox games, we want to facilitate the creation of a common, a familiar experience across all of those devices, but a fundamentally tailored and unique experience for each device.”
In fact, this is what a development team in Redmond was working on:
“We had a core team that will bring those silicon interfaces together, bring those developer platforms together, approach delivery of apps to the customers in a common way. We have one team delivering the core services that will light up our devices. And then we have satellite teams each focused on each of the device categories, so each of them can be reflective of what the customer expects in that place.”
Myerson also confirmed in his keynote that Microsoft was moving in very fast with this vision.
Although it may take a while for this to become official, but there have been plenty of rumors before this that Windows 9 could merge Windows RT and Windows Phone platforms together. And considering this has become a priority for the company, a feature like this could be here sooner rather than later.
Have anything to say on this important confirmation? Fire up a comment below!

Ford CEO :Alan Mulally , In The Race To Be Microsoft CEO

NOTE: If you want to buy win 7  win 8 pro ,office 2010 , office 2013 key with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/



The latest on this matter is that at least 3 investors are now interested in seeing Ford’s Alan Mulally head up the Redmond Empire.
Reuters is claiming, citing sources that have asked not to be named, that both Ford CEO Alan Mulally and  Computer Sciences CEO Mike Lawrie are now in the mix. Board members have asked the special committee tasked with finding a new leader to place them on the shortlist.
In fact, it seems that the list that Microsoft is looking at has come down to 40 different candidates, both internal and external — Mulally, Lawrie, and former Nokia boss Stephen Elop, however, are in pole-position for this esteemed and important job..
Alan Mulally, 68, a former Boeing engineer, is currently one of the most illustrious names in the business world. He is credited with helping Ford get back on track while coping with the economic recession that hit the Detroit Three back in 2009.
While Mulally very recently reiterated that he wanted to stay with Ford until at least 2014, it seems that the automaker’s board could let him go in case he gets a better offer.
Microsoft recently made it official that current CEO Steve Ballmer would retire within the next 12 months, even as the technology titan recent kicked off a reorganization plan with the aim of getting it closer to a devices and services concept instead of just a software firm.
