Which two tools are you comparing? The web site tools in Office 365 for small business vs the enterprise offer or Office Live Small Business or BPOS?&lt;/p&gt;

(website here: www.microsoft.com/online) Office 365 provides a range of prices based on what you are looking for. Pricing sheet is here: &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://office365.microsoft.com/en-US/what-is-office365.aspx"&gt;office365.microsoft.com/.../what-is-office365.aspx&lt;/a&gt;. FYI that site is not a Microsoft owned site, so please refer to our website for information on Office 365.&lt;/p&gt;

What are the prices for BPOS and Office365? I am very much interested to learn more about the different price offering. I would like to also compare in-house hosting versus cloud for Exchange server. &amp;nbsp;I tried looking at the forums: &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.office365forums.com"&gt;http://www.office365forums.com&lt;/a&gt; but no info yet. did the USDA calculate the ROI on going to cloud?&lt;/p&gt;

Otherwise, there is nothing available at this time, as we are still in beta.&lt;/p&gt;
