“Nothing succeeds like success.” That was the opinion of Alexandre Dumas, best-selling author of such classic tales as “The Three Musketeers” and “The Count of Monte Cristo,” whose work has been translated into more than 100 languages. We couldn’t agree more.
The reason Office 365 has become such a successful product is because it succeeds in helping our customers harness the power of the cloud, increase productivity and improve collaboration wherever they go, and stay current with the latest software—all at an affordable price. That’s why businesses like Martin Aircraft and The Walsh Group, a major construction firm, continue to choose Office 365. And it’s why 4.4 million families are now using Office 365 Home, up from 3.5 million in January.
And Office 365 just keeps getting better as we continue to add new features, expand its capabilities and take it into new markets. After announcing Office for the iPad last month and seeing millions of users download the new apps, Microsoft this week released an update that enables users to print Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations from their iPads. We also increased OneDrive for Business storage from 25GB to 1 TB per user, an improvement that is available with any Office 365 subscription that includes OneDrive for Business.
