So buy a Mac. Problem solved. I gave up Microsoft software development in 2000 because of all the annual add ons, in addition to having to pay for OS upgrades.
I'm not saying Apple is perfect but I will say "Go Mac and don't look back." Unless you're a real renegade and want to tackle Linux.
Great suggestion. My comment was referring to All the long-term payments that are extracted from us. Other examples are Hulu, Netflix et al, and my most despised Amazon Prime, where you pay a subscription for the right to buy things and receive Amazon Prime Video that ensnares you with add-on costs. Extraction.
I just bought a new computer and Microsoft Office is now an annual subscription instead of something you download once and upgrade at your own choice. I've been perfectly happy with MS Office 10 and have never upgraded it!
Check out "Open Office". It's a free office suite that can support MS Office products. Warning, there is a learning curve. Or consider going Mac where their word processing and spreadsheet apps are included with the OS **which has free updates**.
Thanks. Not going Mac though I have had a little experience using others Mac computers. I'll take a look at Open Office. The subscription MS Office is free for a year with my new computer but there's no reason I must renew & pay if I can still access my documents with Open Office. Thanks for the suggestion.
I started using Open Office when I was still using Windows and just stuck with it when I made the migration, er mac-gration. The computers are more expensive but you save so much on updates and so, so, so many fewer headaches with hacks and virus infections and blue screen crashes.

That's a Extraction with Synergy.
