They are 365 Personal and 365 Home Premium. The advantage of this is that you will always have the most up to date version of the Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc). That is to say, you pay a yearly subscription fee. Office 365 is a subscription based offering from Microsoft. So in an effort to decrease both the time and confusion, here is a brief description of the differences, supported with an image that graphically displays those differences. The conversation would then turn to all the differences of one version over the other.Īs you can imagine, that is time consuming, and potentially confusing for the customer. You have Office 365 Personal & Home Premium, and Office Home & Student and Office Home & Business and Office Pro. To which the customer will reply, I didn’t know there were different versions.Īnd we would then respond with, yes there are several versions. Invariably the customer will say yes, to which we would reply, which version would you like?
Usually when we build a new computer, or supply a new Laptop, the question is asked, would you like Microsoft Office with that?
