Locked out of updates for Micorosoft Office

I thought as a post-graduate researcher I’d be smart and download the latest office for free. Turns out in order to install it you need 10.10 or newer. So the forced migration begins if you want the latest updates.

Ho Hum… It’s not like I don’t have El Capitan installed. I just don’t want to use it. Anyone else happy on Mavericks? I think I’ll stay put for the time being. But anyway, how about that?

I guess its what happens when Microsoft skips an entire release cycle somewhere along the way for Macs.
