Editor's Notes

  • #17: Unlimited automatic product updates, no upfront infrastructure costs, and affordable monthly subscription plans make the new Office 365 an unbeatable value. As an Office 365 customer, you will get unlimited automatic updates to the latest Office software, at no additional cost. Office 365 is optimized for the best experience across your devices. Giving you access to the complete stack of tools you need to grow your business, all at a monthly subscription rate that fits your budget. Buying and managing a server can be costly. Office 365 delivers the same capabilities with a much lower financial investment.
  • #18: The new Office gives you the power to chose which product is best for you. Office 365 provides cloud services that are optimized for size and IT needs as well as traditional Office on-premises products.
