Not really. Better than The New 3DS, The New MacBook, or the New Razer Blade Stealth.

Hence: Naming schemes are hard. Was /s

The vastly superior MS Office. Or the moderately superior Libre Office.

Or the adequately superior Open Office.

Razer Blade Stealth.

Shots fired?

Once is enough. Twice is a tad much. Thrice is excessive.

 

And as fast as a M134, and as accurate as an M82A1.

If a flame war starts, note that I will not join in and simply watch from afar.

US Pricing is $70/yr for Personal

 

About time you Canadians caught up.

Only in Canada I'm assuming. Maybe because 1 CAD = 0.80 USD.

 

I have to assume you are right that this is the reason.  However, if so, I have to applaud Microsoft for being kind since they could easily have justified bumping the price 2 years ago, and to a greater degree than they have.

But...but... what's the username and password and the 2fa code to login? 

I just wish they'd just bundle Office to Windows but I know it's just mere wishful thinking

They kinda do when you buy a new laptop. Unfortunately it's only good for 365 days!

Well, look at this:

 

Where is that at? Definetly not standard Apple pricing in the US.

Speaking of US pricing, the chart you showed me with $10/month for 2 TB and $1/month for 50 GB... was that US?  Because if so I'd be curious to know the Canadian pricing of course so we can compare properly

Yes, it is.  So it's $13/month or by extension $156 per year for 2 TB... It was more expensive than the office plan on a per TB basis, but now is ever so slightly cheaper.  That said, important to remember you're getting Office with this too, and there's always the much cheaper 5 person plan if you need more space.

So given that a lot of people have their own NAS setups, why not use that for  "cloud storage"? That would the best value for cloud services - although you do need to maintain it yourself...

Unless it's off-site it doesn't count as a cloud replacement, just a glorified external HDD

Maybe some people don't have fast enough upload speeds? (As in when you're accessing the NAS from an 'external' computer, not uploading to the server/NAS).

Best to have an off site backup in case of natural disaster, fatal power surge, etc.

It's a cloud replacement if I can access it over the interwebz.

I just wish they'd stop calling it Office 365

You pay for a year licence every year. There are 365 days in a year. ~365.25 if you want to be technical.

That's not the issue - the issue is this:

 

Office 365 (retail) - Office 365 (Business / Enterprise)

Office Home - Office Business / Office ProPlus

OneDrive - OneDrive for Business

Skype - Skype for Business Online

 

 

And so on..

Again, better than some naming schemes.
