Finally, one weekend you feel the need to organize your ever growing DVD collection. You come home one evening and decide you want to keep track of your expenses. Days pass, you enjoy your computer and start using it more, when you suddenly feel a bit frustrated for the lack of functions in WordPad. Since when has that become subscription based anyway? Also $400 for an Office package seems to be jumping the shark a bit. Besides you're not going to start paying a subscription just to be able to write documents. Do you need the MS Office suite? Nah, you can do without it. Imagine you have just set up your first Windows PC.
