1353744 2013-09-19 01:50:00 The one main thing that would stop me from going with Office 2013 is the Outlook "To do List" It only shows the current day not the full week like previous versions. This was brought up at the beta stage but as we all know M$ knows best.. paulw (1826)

Yes it does add up very quick. At risk of abusing your generosity and not trying to help myself here, can you explain what the following means from the small print for the cheapest plan with no desktop versions:

"Plans that do not include the desktop version of Office (Exchange Online Plan 1, Office 365 Small Business, and Office 365 Enterprise E1) work with the latest version of Office, Office 2010, Office 2007 (with slightly limited functionality), Office 2011 for Mac, and Office 2008 for Mac." ?

Is it simply just the Google Apps equivalent where Microsoft are hosting your email etc? It seems to me that everything else on offer with the cheap plan is free anyway and you would still be using your old Office software anyway?

1353746 2013-09-19 06:14:00 Good question.

To be honest I've never dealt with the lowest priced version. I do know that the other versions install the complete program on the PC, so you can work on what ever it is then when going on line it syncs with the online version. Much the same way the home user ( 5 User) does.office.microsoft.com

Looking at whats written, it looks like your description may be pretty much correct, with the exception if you have an earlier version of Outlook installed it semi works.

#3 in the small print:
Users can connect the following versions of Outlook to their hosted email, so they can use the rich client application they already know: the latest version of Outlook, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007 (with slightly limited functionality), Outlook 2011 for Mac, and Outlook 2008 for Mac.
