With Microsoft – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

We have seen in the past few days a number of videos related to people not being aware or wondering why all of the sudden they are required to pay for the use of apps like Microsoft word.

Well the short answer to that is this. Microsoft Word, an application that resides within the Microsoft Office Suite, has always been an application that requires some form of being purchased. Whether that be within the Microsoft 365 subscription or through perpetual licensing. It has been this way since it’s inception in the late 1990s.

For individuals that possess a Microsoft account, you can use apps like Word, PowerPoint and Excel via the web interface for free with limited functionality.

Most of the videos we are seeing referance that the user was using the app with no issue whatsoever, then all of the sudden they are required to pay for a subscription. This is caused by one of two things, the user was utilizing the app on a trial basis or the user preformed an action that is not granted in the free to use portion of the application.

We have also seen that individuals are really only associating the name Microsoft as being one product when in fact, it is multiple products. The Microsoft Windows operating system, that comes on the vast majority of computers these days, represents only one segment of the Microsoft ecosystem. Just because you purchased a computer with the Windows operating system on it doesn’t grant you a license for all the other parts of the Microsoft ecosystem.

Here are a couple of examples explaining the key differences between the Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite. Another way to look at the differences is by thinking about it like this. Microsoft Windows is a new house you just bought, that house has all the features needed to function. Without furniture and decor this house is just a house, the Microsoft Office suite in this scenario is the furniture and decor.

Here at B&B Services, we are looking to expand our services available to the community. With that being said, we are exploring certain services that we can provide using the equipment and tools we currently have. We have decided to trial run a snow removal service for a select area around our business location here in Kirksville, with the hope of expanding it in the future if we receive enough interest from the community. This area, to start, would be limited to anyone in the Kilmer addition, which includes residents starting at New and Dear streets covering every street in the map included in this post. We will be offering snow removal for anyone in this area at $40 per snow event. If you're interested in getting on the list for this service, send us a message with your name and address, or give us a call at 660-956-0089 to get put on the list. We hope this service is something everyone will appreciate and take advantage of. Finally, if you feel that Kirksville and the surrounding area is missing some type of service that is available in other areas, let us know and we will be happy to look into whether it is possible for us to assist you. Thank you!
