Microsoft 365 - 45% price increase

[dontcryforme]

FML. I missed my annual renewal this week but they will try again next week. Dont know what I am going to do next year, win the lotto?

Oh, the % increase sounds big, but it works out to around $2 a month increase. Insignificant.

The rapper 50c is also known as Mister One Billion Rand in South Africa.

I guess you also support stealing music and the shows?

How is stealing software any better than robbing a store? Theft is theft.

Why am I only paying R95 for Office/Microsoft 365 Personal?

Hmmm, robbing a store with a gun and shooting the cashier because he believes in climate change and also taking 50 iPhones and a Steri Stumpie, or just clicking a download link.

Yeah I can see how this is exactly the same thing.

And if you could rob the store without using a gun and shooting anyone? You know, maybe breaking in while no one is there, or pickpocketing the products? Does that then make it okay?

Piracy is theft, end of story. If you pirate software or media, you can’t complain about other crimes or corruption, you are a thief, end of.

How is duplicating something the same as theft.

It is like going into a store, taking a photo of a ring, and then 3D print the ring at home.

As long as you don't sell the ring there is nothing wrong with it and no law has been broken.

Just don't sell the duplicated song or show and no crime has been committed.

Stop being silly.

You guys ever heard of a little concept called Intellectual Property?

What flavour?

What’s click bait in the thread title? The price increase is in fact 45.46%

Is the increase for ALL MS365 products?

No idea. That’s the increase I was informed about for a personal subscription.

Then edit your title since it clearly implies ALL O365 products will increase by 45%

 

[Mirai]

Still see it at R999 for 1 year of Family plan.

By the way these stack up to 5, so you can buy 5 years worth now for R4995.00
