Microsoft Releases Office 2024 Perpetual Version

[JacobHarvey]

Microsoft appears to have just released their newest non-subscription version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite (Microsoft Office 2024) to replace Office 2021 on macOS and Windows, with 5 years of security update support following release.

It's good that they are at least still providing the option for people who require it to buy a perpetual version of the software rather than forcing everyone onto an Office 365 Subscription.

Wonder what the heck "rights to use the apps for commercial purposes" means.
