The more you use or buy Microsoft products, the more freebies you’ll receive in return. With the debut of Microsoft Rewards, you'll also be able to accrue points by browsing with Edge or purchasing items at brick-and-mortar Microsoft Stores.

Oh, good grief. Nobody in their right mind would buy or use any MS product beyond a necessary OS and a legacy MS Office installation. Same with Adobe, by the way.

I like my Windows Phone and Microsoft Band. Best camera phone I’ve ever used and the Band is pretty useful. My family also gets good use out of our Xbox One.

You don’t even need Microsoft’s OS or office suite to do the basics. At this very moment I am running Linux from a bootable memory stick. Besides the OS and browser, the stick also contains a full office suite (LibreOffice) and other basic applications.

Or you can just go to Radio Shack and "invent" a clock that looks like a bomb, and get all kinds of freebies from Microsoft.

Agreed. I trust MSFT even less than I trust Google, and I trust Google not at all.

What do you recommend instead of Adobe Creative Suite and Acrobat?

Re: Adobe, are you referring to product quality or their subscription model?
