where I discovered that a Feedback Portal Suggestion was deleted, and then another, and yet another.

Another One Bites The Dust

Randomly decided to look at the Feedback Portal today, and something just felt… off. After a bit of investigating, I finally put my finger on it.

What is the Difference Between Office 2024 and MS365?

After my recent post and video regarding Office 2024’s release:

Microsoft Office 2024 Released!
Did you know, Office 2024 launched yesterday! That’s right, if you want a perpetual license (1 time purchase rather than the MS365 Subscription model) of the latest and greatest version of Office then 2024 is now on the market. Here’s Microsoft’s official announcement:  

I’ve seen a few questions on my YouTube channel and in various forums where people are trying to understand the difference between Microsoft 365 (also referred to as MS 365 or MS365) and this latest release of Office 2024.

A customer rang me today and asked which 365 package included Access. Knowing how these things change I looked up https://lnkd.in/eNAGuZGK and...it is not shown in Basic, Standard, Premium or Apps for Business...

So, of course, business decision makers jumped on the hype word of the week and corporation after corporation made the expensive switch over to ‘The Cloud’.
