Getting stuf to Australia is a long and arduous process requiring extra man power. That means they can charge you extra. If you moved somewhere closer to the civilised world it might be cheaper. ;)

TypicalBusiness, you can get Office 365 Home Premium or University from a number of retailers in Australia or from Microsoft directly. There is no limitation to Telstra-only for these consumer products.

For business customers, we do have an exclusive partnership with Telstra around Office 365 for businesses. Telstra provides an integrated package that many customers value, but I hear your feedback and will share it with our AU team.

Bron, good questions!

1) You are correct. She would be able to use Office just like a "normal" local installation. You can really have as many accounts log into Office on those three machines as is needed for the family.

2) If she is using the same machine on which you have signed into Office (and not signed out), then yes, she would be able to access your documents on SkyDrive. A simple option might be to create a free MSFT account, and then she can save her docs to her own SkyDrive (or locally of course).

I hope that helps. Let us know if you have more questions. You sound like a pretty good candidate for Home Premium, since you have 3 PCs on which you want to use Office.

Guys, can you please explain why you have locked Australians into working with Telstra if we want to buy and use Office 365?

Not only is the monthly fee higher for Australian users, but office professional plus as a subscription is more than double the cost for Australian users at $26.90 p/month!!

Aside from the pricing, Telstra is renown for providing terrible customer service.

WHY WHY WHY?

I subscribe to SAAS for a whole lot of products and pay US prices month in and out. Why can't I do the same for Office 365! Please look at changing this ASAP. I want to use office 365 but I DON'T want to pay more than I have to, or use Telstra if I don't have to.

Thanks for the informative post. I have a couple of question about Office 365 Home Premium that I'm hoping you can answer, or at least point me to where I can get the answer. Here's the scenario:

My wife, daughter, and I share three Windows 7 Pro computers. Or I should say, we will soon; I'm setting up a network with a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server, a desktop, and two laptops. If I subscribe to Office 365 Home Premium using my Microsoft Account, I understand that I can install it on all three of our Windows 7 computers using the single MS Account. My wife and daughter do not have an MS Account and have no interest in one. They will just want to use Office locally and save files to our server as they always have (at least for now). I understand that we can have Office save locally instead of to SkyDrive.

My questions are:

1) If my daughter, for example, logs on to a laptop with her own Active Directory credentials (not mine), will she be able to just open and use Office installed on the laptop without needing to enter Microsoft Account credentials? In other words, will it work just like a "normal" local installation of Office?

2) Since Office will be installed using my Microsoft Account credentials, would my daughter be able to access my files in SkyDrive without entering the credentials? In other words, would Office somehow be automatically tied to my Microsoft Account without the need to re-enter credentials?

Any light you can shed on sharing an Office 365 Home Premium subscription in this way will help me make a decision as to how to purchase Office for our new setup. Thanks!

Lee, as you know, folks who want to create, read, edit and share Office docs on other platforms (non-Windows, Mac) have the Office Web Apps which work on Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. We've made enhancements to these apps recently, so if you haven't used them lately, they are definitely worth a try.

Thanks for your feedback. We'll definitely take this into account as we look at options in the future.

Scott, I think you've got the licensing info right. It may be worth checking with your employer whether the use rights you have apply only to a copy of Office you buy for yourself. In most cases, those use rights apply to the user, not the bits.

But, generally, I hear your feedback and will share it internally.
