I hate applications that force you to first make a complete study of difference between versions

E - Enterprise
A - Academics
F - Field Workers.

Everybodys situation/circumstance is different. For myself I went O 365.

I hate the ribbon concept as a default option. I'd like the Office 2003 interface with concise menus. The new Office should have an option for the old conventional interface (with added functionality in the menus, of course) but the easiness and intuitive button layout. The ribbon makes you crazy remembering where every function is embedded and it's no good for your eyes as well!

Great job! I subscribed. Can you share what software you used to create your video with the illustrations and animations? Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

[amelliamendel]

If they ever come out with one that includes msdn let me know

[ForSynthsSake]

I bought the Microsoft 365 family, does this mean I get 6 win 10 licenses too? Previous years I’ve used office 365 but the 10 euro extra is quite small.

[gnanga]

Great explanation and illustrations. Thank you :)

Hello!
Microsoft 365 Business = Microsoft 365 Business Basic.
Howerver, this could chance the name, or adjust, after your video.

[jacobjackson]

soo microsoft 365 family is a good deal for 72 dollars? what does " upto 6tb" mean exactly

[starsamuel]

Hi can you throw some light on the price of different licenses and what would be the suitable package for home office use of word, excel, ppt and outlook??

[masoodpaki]

Got Microsoft 365 business basics subscription, its free for first 6 months ;-)

[birbirikos]

Great video. Could anybody advise for a small business with existing Win 10 Licenses and a Microsoft account what business package to go for? Microsoft or Office? The main reason for its use is to be able to work on the same shared docs between laptops and to communicate easier between staff with calendar etc Thank you

[syedrabi]

If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do, I don't want to spend money on it

[blake]

In my organization, there are 10 staff, does this mean we get to pay $120.50 per month for microsoft 365 business standard plan?

[matttarry]

Hi, When my 1yr 365 expires will i still be able to use the apps without services. Having bought a laptop with 1yr subsription, do i need a new subscription for basic word, Excel etc? thanks

[urosale]

I bought monthly Office 365 Personal subscription, will I get Windows 10 on April 21st, after Office 365 rename to Microsoft 365? And will the price stay same?
Thanks
