Understanding the exact price of a Business Continuity system isn't easy as the overall cost of software includes the cost of a license, subscription fees, training, customization, hardware, maintenance, support, and other related services.

The payment is made either on a per user basis or subscription basis. Ideally, customers are required to pay a recurring monthly fee until a specific period for using the tool. Subscription pricing model is more common with Software-as-a-Service SaaS apps.

Vivaldi will not provide crypto-wallets in its browser because it doesn't want users to participate in digital coin trading — something CEO Jon von Tetzchner desribes as "at best a gamble and at worst a scam".

The move comes a week after rival Mozilla dipped a toe in the crypto-waters , only to have it angrily bitten off. Mozilla initially talked of accepting donations via cryptocurrencies but swiftly backtracked, saying the policy would be paused and reviewed. Anti-malware veteran Norton also came a little unstuck at the same time thanks to inbuilt crypto-mining tech. Microsoft's cloudy storage platform, OneDrive, is a handy solution for mixed fleets. Using Windows and Mac hardware?

No problem; a local-file-like experience is on hand for either environment Linux users, sadly, need not apply for the time being. One facet of the OneDrive experience is Files On-Demand, where the content of files is not downloaded until needed for example, opening up a Word document.
