Howdy, looking for feedback on the best way to get MS Office for our family iMac (desktop) and a Macbook (child's for school)? Thanks!

One of the best (cheapest) routes is employee home use program if you work for a large company that uses office.

Depending on how much horsepower you need, it might be best to get a cheap Windows machine. I used Windows for Mac for a while. It was never especially stable, the keyboard commands are just different enough to be a hassle, and I don't think it had quite as much functionality, although that may have been the version.

Thanks for the feedback all. With multiple Macs and multiple users, I'm guessing the 365 Home subscription is the way to go.

365 home subscription unless your employee offers the 365 subscription as a benefit.

This might work, at least for your student:

HUP has just changed. MS is now only offering discounts on Office 365.

What has changed with the Home Use Program?

Microsoft is updating the Home Use Program to offer discounts on the latest and most up to date products such as Office 365, which is always up to date with premium versions of Office apps across all your devices. Office Professional Plus 2019 and Office Home and Business 2019 are no longer available as Home Use Program offers.
