[dba-Tech] Microsoft release 365 Office

The most flippant response would be to say that Microsoft has a vested
interest in desktop applications but I think it is more pragmatic in that MS
wants to have solid confirmation about the identity of the user as this is
not a free package but a paid one.

The program and web BE is only designed (at this time) to support a small
business of say 25 direct users. The one benefit is that the application
core, being on the web, is that in theory, it is impervious to office
crashes and will require no local tech support. (That means you and me
Stuart) ;-)

If it is a "full web based implementation", why do have to download stuff :)
