    Office 2013 is the new desktop version of Office.

    Office 365 is the cloud version that is a subscription.

    You can buy Office 2013 from any Office supply store. But the Office 365 version, which is the subscription version, can only be purchased from Microsoft.

    So the question really comes down to: do you want the desktop version that installs on your computer (like Office 2007, Office 2010, Office 2013) or do you want the subscription version which is on Microsoft's servers. I would prefer, and always recommend, people purchase their software. If you subscribe to the Office 365, then if their server's go down for any reason you will not have access to your software or documents and if that outage came at a time when you were in a hurry to get to your software or to a document you'd be unable to and could, depending upon the urgency, cause big issues for the end user.

    You have not been keeping up with the latest MS news. MS are moving to cloud computing, Everyone will have to pay an annual subscription fee to use office, the subscription charges will be $99.00, and users will have to pay for all updates, and upgrades,

    Why buy MS office 10/13/365 when you can have a Free professional office package that's got all the same features and more besdes, you can check it out here. They have just released their latest August release. Libre Office 4.4

    I prefer the 2010 version as well. You can check for specs for Office 2013 http://tinyurl.com/kjnply5

    but if you have no use for the extra perks I'd stick with the previous version.

    Their customer service is 1st class and I will definitely be recommending the site and I will be using the site again.

    For most things I am happy with 2010, but for data analysis the new features in Excel 2013 are well worth the money.
