Microsoft’s new Office Equipt subscription service
Retailer Circuit City will be launching something new from Microsoft and they will also be the first to bring this new software service called Microsoft Equipt.
By mid-July the consumer software subscription service will be at around 700 US based Circuit City stores and will include MS Office, Windows Live One Care, Messenger, Photo Gallery and other applications.
Microsoft Equipt will cost $70 per year and although this is not a complete move to the subscription model by Microsoft, its still welcomed.
Having bought MS Office in the past I know just how much this can cost and the thought of getting so much included in such a small fee makes this option very desirable.
We are hearing that Equipt will include subscription versions of Student 2007 and Office Home; you will also get easy subscription removal and unlimited e-mail support.
Sadly we have no dates of a similar subscription service to countries outside the United States.
Blockbuster has offered to buy Circuit City for a reported $1 billion
Blockbuster has offered to buy Circuit City; they are willing to pay $1 to £1.3 billion. Blockbuster would like to purchase Circuit City in the hope that it would help them, as both companies have been suffering just recently.
Circuit City has reported a loss of $200, and Blockbuster has also been making a bit of a loss on their download service. However Blockbuster reckons that by joining both companies it could make the two of them make at least $18 billion a year, as the two companies working together could save money from several synergies that they could create.
