Apparently the subscription-based Office product has such a fantastic 
price that "it's a no-brainer".

Is it just me? Personally, I'm appalled at Microsoft's latest attempt to 
suck money out of my wallet. And I'm baffled as to why this reviewer is 
so excited about the prospect...

So let's see now. I can purchase a copy of Office, and then use it. 
Forever. (Lest you doubt this, my mother is still running Office 95.)

Alternatively, I can pay $100, every single year, for the rest of my 
life, to get... exactly the same thing?

In WHICH UNIVERSE is that better??

Oh, but apparently that makes me a "luddite". Ho hum...
