ow that Microsoft has ended
support for Office 2010 as of
October 13 (go.pcworld.com/

downloads, discs, or product keys. You get
constant updates, including bug fixes,
security patches, and new features.
Microsoft’s subscriptions also offer flexibility
on how many users and machines can access
a product, so you don’t have to juggle a
bunch of different copies of the same
software. Here’s how it works.IMAGE: GETTY IMAGES/ROB SCHULTZ
