    Do the sites generally tell you that before you register the key? Only allowing one seems like an oversight, so I expect they would lack a banner informing you of that limitation.

    They've had the Segoe font family since Vista. If they had any interest in switching Office to it, I would have expected them to do so back then. Since they're going for a new font now (or well, in 2021) it makes sense to have a new font designed, so it feels fresh and new. I presume the modern feeling is the entire point.

    As for why they didn't switch Office to Segoe in 2007, I guess Windows and Office are just different teams, where the people in charge of making decisions have different tastes.
