Microsoft has opened an opportunity for consumers to run their Office Suite and Windows Live OncCare security package for an annual subscription cost of $69.99. The program of this rental business is called Equipt and it’s available exclusively at Circuit City beginning in approximately two weeks.

“Consumers expressed frustration at having to spend time and effort installing different types of software, keeping current on new versions, and getting their computers set up. We’re just making it really convenient and painless for consumers to get up and running in a few mouse-clicks,” says Bryson Gordon of Microsoft.
