MICRO SOFT OFFICE

What Is Microsoft 365?


The latest version of Microsoft Office is called Microsoft Office 2019, although the web-
based Microsoft 365 is the version that Microsoft would prefer users to adopt. Various
versions of the suite have been around since 1988, including but not limited to Microsoft
Office Professional, Microsoft Office Home and Student, and various collections of
Microsoft Office 2016. Most people still refer to any version of the suite as Microsoft Office,
though, which makes distinguishing among editions difficult.

What makes Microsoft 365 stand out from older editions of MS Office is that it integrates all
aspects of the apps with the cloud. It’s a subscription service, too, which means users pay a
monthly or yearly fee to use it, and upgrades to newer versions are included in this price.
Previous versions of Microsoft Office, including Office 2016, didn’t offer all the cloud
features that Microsoft 365 does and were not subscription-based. Office 2016 was a one-
time purchase, just as other editions were, and as Office 2019 is.

Packages Available
Microsoft 365 Business comes in four different packages: Basic, Standard, Premium, and
Apps.Basic includes web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Standard
adds Publisher and Access (PC only). Premium adds all cloud services such as in tune and
Azure Information Protection. Apps include all Standard applications and One Drive.
