Microsoft raises Office 2013 prices to push new Office 365 sub plans

Microsoft this week raised prices of its Office suite by as much as 17 percent and eliminated multilicense packs, all part of a plan to push consumers and small businesses toward new subscription programs, analysts said. On Monday, Microsoft unveiled pricing for Office 2013, the next version of its suite sold as a perpetual license, and for two new plans in the by-subscription Office 365 lineup.Cameron Diaz Gisele Bundchen Renee Zellweger Carson Palmer
