Nobody paid $600 for Office. A few large companies did, maybe, but nobody else. That's kind of the whole point of subscription software, right? To cut back on the insane 90%+ piracy rates of the good old days?

Yes. And I get far more value out of the $100 a year Office subscription that is continuously updated than I did out of the pirated Word 5.1 that I kept for years past it’s prime.
It seems like a win/win. Microsoft gets more money from me and I get more value from Microsoft.
