Tech giant Microsoft has taken bold steps to change its game with its Office 365 rollout. The latest office suite is completely different from the earlier versions of Microsoft Office right from how it's distributed to what's included to and how it's priced. So following are the points that you need to know about Office 365 services to reap benefits. 

Luckily, all the changes in the suite are extremely positive and user-friendly but there is still a lot to know before deciding to buy or install the suite. 

In the cloud: Microsoft Office 365 services is "in the cloud" from two ways. Firstly, buying the suite compulsorily requires downloading of it, which clears that one can't buy it on a disc (the exception being in some countries, where the tech giant continues to sell discs). 

Secondly, the office 365 suite designed automatically to save the users documents to the cloud, SkyDrive in this case, if they choose. Though users will have an option to save their files locally, the applications will integrate tightly with the SkyDrive. 

Applications included: The Home Premium version of Office 365 services includes the vital applications such as Word, PowerPoint (PPT), Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. However, OneNote is not included in the Mac version. 

Runs on touch-screen devices: If you are tired of using mouse and keyboard? No worries. The new Office 365 is designed in a way to work on touch-screen smart devices like tablets and touch-screen enabled laptops that support Windows 8. 

Install all applications: Users are unable to customize their installation of Office 365 (Home Premium) by choosing not to install specific applications, say, Microsoft Access or Publisher. The complete suite gets installed in spite of whether you plan to use some apps or not. 

Offers whopping cloud storage: Office 365 was designed to integrate tightly with SkyDrive, as a counter attack to Google Drive. Users of SkyDrive get a whopping free cloud storage space and Home premium subscribers of Office 365 get an additional storage space at a free of cost.
