Microsoft Phasing Out Starter Edition of Office

JMH · Jun 22, 2012

Say goodbye to the Starter edition of Microsoft Office.

This week, Microsoft reportedly notified OEM PC partners that it's beginning to phase out Office Starter 2010. In fact, the Starter edition -- which offers a stripped-down, ad-laced version of Word and Excel -- will be nuked altogether, replaced by Office Web Apps going forward. These apps are the Internet-based versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote originally announced back in 2008.
