... the 2003 version and upgraded to 2010 and was happy with it
I have used Microsoft office since the 2003 version and upgraded to 2010 and was happy with it. Frankly, I liked Office 2010 better than Office 365. I'll never understand why Microsoft has to move everything around when they release a new version. It's kind of like say "I think I'll reverse the brake and the gas pedal on a car just because it's different."
My real complaint is with the subscription system. I had the 2010 version bought on a disk with a key number and 3 installs and kept it through multiple computer upgrades. But this time Microsoft would not let me reactivate my perfectly serviceable 2010 version when I bought a new computer. The old Office 2010 was perfectly fine, and arguably better. Office 365 added no useful changes, but suddenly I had to buy a subscription every year just to replace a system that wasn't broken.
My office uses Microsoft, so I don't have meaningful change, so I'm stuck, but that doesn't mean I like it.
