We have been trying Office365 with the company I work for, specifically interesting was the opportunity to use there subscription model to handle Office installs at ~£160 for a retail licence per PC, paying for per user becomes very tempting.
Unfortunatly it may not be as simple as planned. I turned on my laptop today to get the wonderfully helpful and annoying error message telling me to reinstall office... having only installed it a month ago and wanting to try giving this service to novice computer users this message would scare them.
My list of problems with Office 365 seem to be growing, Microsoft could of hit something amazing with this concept but am appalled at the quality of the product is very uncharacteristic of Microsoft.
