Microsoft Office 365 is a huge departure from former versions offered by Microsoft. The new Mcrosoft Office 365 is
a cloud friendly, web based service. It not only offers cloud based
services, it is now available as a subscription based service. This is a
huge shift for Microsoft, which formerly only charged a one time fee
for their service. With the new subscription based service, you will
have access to all updates as they become available.
For many people, cloud computing is a necessity. People want to be
able to have instant access to their email or documents, wherever they
are. Perhaps due to this reality, and perhaps as a way of competing
with Google Drive, Microsoft Office 365 now
offers 20GB of SkyDrive space. This is in addition to the 7GB which is
already offered for free by Microsoft. So if you store any of your
Office files in SkyDrive you will be able to access them from any device
that is connected to the web.
Another feature included is Office on Demand. This service allows
you to stream Office to PCs that don’t actually have the suite
installed. The package also includes 60 free minutes of Skype calls, to
landlines, per month. Of course, all of the major Office applications
are included as well. This includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook,
OneNote, Access, and Publisher. Office 365 Small Business Premium also
comes with Exchange, SharePoint, and Lync.
Office 365 Home Premium is
available for either $99.99 a year or $9.99 per month, and covers up to
five computers per household. The PC and Mac versions are both
available as part of the package. Office 365 Small Business Premium is
available for $150.00 per year. Teachers and college students will get
a break in the subscription pricing. Microsoft Office 365 will be
available to those users for $80 for four years. Other subscription
information is available on Microsoft’s website.
