[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1867552, member: 396914"] Couple of nitpicks on Randy's post. The product from Microsoft is Microsoft 365, not Office 365. I have the "Family" plan so for $10/month I get up to six copies of Office, plus Office for iDevices and a TB of storage for all six licenses on OneDrive. Given I have an actual need for four licenses, that's the best deal for me. Yes, I won't own a copy if I stop the license, but then again, I get all the updates and upgrades for that monthly subscription rather than having to buy a new copy every time. For me, it makes economic sense. As for the upgrade to Catalina, I agree, in part, with Randy. If you have a rotating drive, definitely avoid it. The 32 bit software issue is a user-by-user issue. I didn't have any 32 bit software that was not updated to be compatible and run, so no issue for me. But the rotating drive and APFS performance hit is real. The Mail bug never got me, either.
