It took me a little while to find my way back to this post. But I wanted to say "THANK YOU!" very loudly to

@JohnCz and

@Allen_MSFT and

@mat

for all your helpful suggestions, particularly the video links for getting up to speed with Sharepoint and Office365. Very thoughtful!. I appreciated the aside, that the videos were free. Those sort of videos often are, but not always... So it was extra friendly to remember to mention that important detail.

Yours truly,

Ellie

Are there any storage limitation for using Office365 and Sharepoint Online?

Hi I know you say "To create a new document right in the browser, just select the format (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, or OneNote) and type the document name." but I don't see how you select the format.

I know you can create a document on a desktop app then upload but I don't see any web apps anywhere to create a document of any format.

I feel foolish at being the only one who can't drive office365 the interface is a bit, well, disapointing Live@edu is so much better. and I'm meant to be the system administrator for my office eek!

Allen, I have a customer who's interested in the Office 365 services. This client uses a Project Management Suite from Bamboo that runs on top of Sharepoint. Does the Office 365 version allow for this type of integration or should they move to a hosted Sharepoint install? I've looked around the site for this information but found nothing.

Im trying to use the beta for a startup, and would be amazing if the beta could have some sort of code repository to integrate it with visual studio 2010

I am currently setting up my company and I love it. I have spent the last 2 years trying to build my little business and I wish I had had this then. I am truly excited!
