Steve Ballmer announces the new Office 365 Home Premium

Hi there - Office 365 looks great!  But I do have a question/concern.  I currently use Office Home and Business 2010 on my home PC and laptop, along with SkyDrive.  I currently use it for personal purposes, as well as doing work from home and some freelance stuff on the side.  Based on the terms, it seems that Home Premium doesn't allow this type of use.  Is this true?  I hope not.  If so, is there going to be a "Home and Business" Office 365 plan going to be available?  I want to be able to use it for working from home, while also letting my family install it too, while also taking advantage of the additional SkyDrive space and Skype minutes.  The upcoming Small Business Premium plan is not really meant for "Home and Business" use.  I really wish Microsoft would really simplify the licenses so we users can use Office anyway we want instead of all this confusion.  I really want to upgrade to Office 365.

This video gives me the impression that it should be ok. Maybe I don't understand the legal details of business vs. personal use. But if you can access the Skydrive and your software by logging on with any Window 7 or 8 computer, does it make a difference if you're at work or home?

I think you can try it for free for one month, too.

Good luck!

Steve Ballmer is the biggest doof in CEO history..

Windows 8 Phone & Office 8 Mobile are the biggest scam in the history of the internet.. its nothing but shameless promotion of Microsofts Cloud crap, and their 365 perpetual Office payment plan...

Office 8 is the most useful piece of crap on the face of the planet... You cant even make your own Bullet Points..in fact 90% of the functionality has been completely removed, you cant even make a simple bullet point, without editing someone's template with random useless bullets all of the place.. , things which you've been able to do since Windows mobile 2003 office...

you are likely not the stupidest people one earth, so we can assume its by design.. to make your phone users hate phone experience so much they will opt to buy your desktop office suite, or at the very least, buy your crappy tablet in addition to their phone, just to be able to make a very simple office document..

2013? more like 1913... your Powerpoint cant even create a simple slide, a function at least 10 other office alternatives can do on Android & iPhone..

I walked into a Phone shop today, ready to buy your Windows Phone, until I opened up Office and smelled the foul stench of your CEO's underpants in my face, taunting me to not use office on the phone, and instead rely on my desktop & the cloud for everything, which naturally makes a tablet a necessity, whilst telling me what a naughty boy he had been... "nana-nana", he seemed to say whilst waving his soiled under-shorts in my face, "im a CEEE-EEEE-OOOOO" he taunted..

he is as senile as the office development team

did you give up brains, functionality, usefulness, practicality, and all manner of features, just so that CEO could flash a pretty little screen around to the little children he seems disturbingly far more interested in?

windows 7 is awesome.. windows 8 is your desperate attempt to straggle behind the leaders.. your CEO doesnt have vision, his head is up the rectums of Google & Apple, who are both far ahead of where he thought he would pop out to...

your CEO is WAY too old to compete in this market.. he's no Jobbs.. and shouldnt have a Job.. tell him to take 365 and roll the entire project back in his rectum from whence it came., and stop pathetically short-changing everyone to promote your other products..

if you little clowns want to make phones, then make phones.. or cant u say 'conflict of interest'....  tell Steve Ballmer to go back to running hair-care companies, and trying to figure out how to cheat the socks off of elderly customers by getting them to invest time & money in hairless schemes.. and STOP screwing around with people who know better

you little clowns have COMPLETELY abandoned your faithful users, who've been with you since 2003... you are a bunch of dikkfaces.. now go screw yourselves

should a company like Microsoft, with its current CEO & development team, even be ALLOWED to OWN a patent?

no.. they shouldnt.  its like taking the patent for electricity, and putting it in the hands of an imbecile who'd rather stick the world's only lightbulbs into his rectum all day..

your little windows 8 phone is nothing but a design to create a need for your crappy tablet.. your craplet, to coin a perfectly suitable phrase for your entire windows 8 agenda

why dont you give us all a Windows7-like experience on the Mobile phone, and re-take 90% of the market... rather than letting Steve Bumballs tank your entire company with his hair-salon tactics

stop forcing your crappy windows8 agenda down everyones throats.. take a step back.. remove your head from the developers rectum to your left, and try creating a phone that is as useful and functional and welcoming as the Windows 7 platform itself... rather than trying to turn the entire planet into little red blocks..

Perhaps Steve Bumbells can just be in charge of developing exclusively for the gay community, and someone with a bit more of a brain can develop Microsoft Windows phones for Microsoft Windows users..

how are you going to abandon all Microsoft Windows 7 users, and your own Windows 7 platform, for an obviously failed idea in Windows 8

the community has told you to kindly go screw yourselves

take a hint..

HAHAHAHAHA
