So, what is Office 365 then?

Microsoft describes it thusly:

"Office 365" refers to subscription plans that include access to Office applications plus other productivity services that are enabled over the Internet (cloud services), such as Lync web conferencing and Exchange Online hosted email for business, and additional online storage with OneDrive and Skype world minutes for home."

But that's not altogether clear in and of itself. There are different tiers to Office 365, such as personal, home and student and business. In its most basic form you get access to full Office desktop apps, mobile apps for Android and iOS should you wish, One Drive storage, Skype minutes and more.

The free subscription offers on things like Surface 3 you'll find yourself with a personal subscription. It's also the cheapest tier if you're handing over money. So let's examine exactly what that gets you.
