‘Microsoft Reverses Itself, Stops Bullying Office 2013 Users On Program Transfers’ – ‘ReadWrite’

The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Microsoft Reverses Itself, Stops Bullying Office 2013 Users On Program Transfers”.

Nick Statt says, “After weeks of heated customer backlash, Microsoft has reversed its bullying policy that would have locked most Office 2013 users into using the software on one, and only one, computer.

Under the original policy, customers could only transfer Office 365 installations to a new computer if their old one failed while under warranty. So any crash outside of that window would mean that potential buyers couldn’t re-install the software on a new machine. In a February 19 blog post, Microsoft made this restriction painfully clear with a nice chart that provoked some, shall we say, less-than-polite comments”.
