What Is A Microsoft Service Agreement

« You receive this email because we are updating the Microsoft Services Agreement that applies to one or more Microsoft products or services that you use. We are making these updates to clarify our terms and ensure that they remain transparent to you, as well as to cover new Microsoft products, services, and features. www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement/upcoming-updates.aspx This now raises the question for me: what can I use to protect myself from the possibility of malware-infected PDF and PowerPoint files, when I download them, always in these formats, technical articles published in magazines, and from the pages of technical meetings, the slides of the presentations I want to watch? Deal breaker for me. I don`t want to go to my PC one morning only to find out that Office stopped working due to a brilliant update that was pushed to my computer without my knowledge or ability to control it. or that the interface suddenly changed to fit the cool idea of a Redmond genius about how I should use the product – uh, I mean, the « service ». In the meantime, the new terms of the agreement could be interesting for those who have enough patience to read a very long document that mainly tells readers what they can`t or shouldn`t do. MPSA offers greater value from your licensed assets, more flexible purchases and simplified asset management through an improved contractual structure, a new purchasing platform and modernized systems and tools. You don`t need a minimum entry fee to start buying through the MPSA. However, to maintain purchase eligibility at Level A, you must purchase at least 500 points or cloud services for at least 250 users within each active product pool before the compliance anniversary. The compliance anniversary date is set as the first anniversary of the month in which you first sign your MPSA. An evergreen agreement with a much simpler contract structure I have MS Office 16 in the Mac, but this is installed in the computer and in all that matters is mine, as in « I own it », not as in « I have it as a service that is graciously provided to mortals like me by MS ».

So: I have « Office », but like nothing I have access to « 365 ». The complete amended agreement linked to the beginning of the linked MS article, in turn, does not list « Office » in general under the « Services » above, but only « Office 365 » and « Office 365 » corresponding to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. OscarCP wrote: Now this raises the question for me: What can I use to protect myself from the possibility of malware-infected PDF and PowerPoint files, when I download them, still in these formats, Microsoft recently informed users of the upcoming changes to the Microsoft Services Agreement. Microsoft provides these updates to clarify its terms and ensure transparency for you, as well as to cover new Microsoft products, services, and features. The new changes to the Microsoft Services Agreement will take effect from October 1 to 20. The funny thing is that I don`t have ANY MS « services » installed on my Mac…
