Office 365 is the new name for BPOS (Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite was a terrible name), now that Microsoft is taking cloud services much more seriously. It's an update of BPOS, moving from Exchange, Communications and SharePoint Servers 2007 to Exchange, Lync and SharePoint 2010 with a few improvements. The client software for end users is still Office, along with the new Office Web Apps. The subscription costs include Office (although there are subscriptions for kiosk workers that only include the web apps, IIRC). | |||||||

It's licensed per-user. It's not the "Next" version of Office, it's the "Cloud" version. It's akin to Google Docs, where you edit everything online instead of on your computer. | |||
