Thanks for the heads up.

I bought an Office 2021 Pro license from Gamespot in Nov 2022, for $32.

Ah, I vaguely remember something about that offer. Wonder why
Bleeping Computer is now offering an older version than that.

On eBay you can buy versions of Office going back to 4.3 (mid 90s) on
diskette.

I have an instance of Office 2019 running ... updates for it ended a
year or two ago.

Because they can. I've not looked into it, but I suspect that these are
probably licenses that MS originally had for foreign markets .. eg, 3rd
world countries. For them to accept a small amount does capture that
customer away from Pirated software, as well as Google/FOSS competitors.

Hmm...wonder if I still have 4.3 around someplace ... as well as an old
enough PC on which it would run? It has value in that it would be
compatible with various now-orphaned file formats (I think Word 5 was
the last version which supported embedded postscript?).
