Want to buy office 2013 and put it on a customers computer? Good freaking luck. Your required to bind it to your account. You can no longer just type in the code, and get their software working for them.
I have 3 copies sitting on my desk, not sure what I want to do with them, but for now I'll buy an older version of office, or tell people they will need to buy it themselves. I really really don't want to go through setting up a microsoft account for them, or getting the password to an existing one.
Microsoft just fucked a bunch of independents from doing the right thing and buying their software, and installing it for customers. I'm sure they don't give a crap because they only care about MSP's or whatever, but I'm not big enough to mess with doing all that partner crap.
