Microsoft this morning announced that it will combine Office Home and Student 2007 with Windows Live OneCare to create an all-in-one security and productivity software suite called Equipt. Previously codenamed Albany, Microsoft Equipt will be made available as a subscription service when it ships in a few weeks. It will cost about $70 a year and can be installed on up to three PCs.
"With Microsoft Equipt we're improving our customers' computing experience by giving them essential software in a package that offers an easy install and setup experience, as well as a convenient and affordable way to stay updated with the latest versions of Office and Windows Live OneCare," Microsoft Office group product manager Bryson Gordon said.
