Why Office Watch is special

Office Watch checks how Microsoft Office really works.  That saves you time and blood pressure trying to figure the damn thing out <g>.

Save Money – we save our readers money every day with tips on legal ways to buy Office/Microsoft 365 for less money.  Hundreds of readers extend their Microsoft 365 plans for less than the top price Microsoft tries to fool people into paying.

We do NOT get commission, affiliate or ‘kick-back’ on sales links. Retailers have rules about what affiliate sites can say, rules that would limit what we tell you to save money (like auto-renewal traps, bait and switch deals).

If you enjoy what we do or save money & time from our work – please do put your money where our mouth is and help support us.
