When it comes to performance and / or productivity, few products can compete with Microsoft's toolkit. Of course, Office 365 is an excellent collection of office applications that we can have on our Windows or Mac computer. It is true that there are many options available, free and paid, but nothing can stop Word, Excel, Outlook and other services.
And in this case Microsoft would remain silent, not to mention in good standing, or to give Office 365 a twist by adding new services and improving its existing tools. Do you know what he did?
Microsoft 365 replaces Office 365: high productivity at similar prices
As Verge reports, Office 365 will be renamed as Microsoft 365. It's not an easy word change, but a small and – we believe – necessary, revolution. Starting April 21, Microsoft 365 will offer two types of subscriptions: one for $ 6.99 and a family member for 6 members for $ 9.99. As we have confirmed, there are no changes to the item compared to the one we already have, but there are major changes to the functions provided in respect of Office 365.
First, Microsoft 365 is adding a new program called Microsoft Family Security responsible for communicating and managing all members of a family subscription. Something is similar to what Apple already has. It works not only as a conversation, but also to know the location of each of the members. It will be a multi-device and we can use it on mobile phones, computers and even Xbox.
The second addition to the Microsoft Team. Of course, Skype has always been Microsoft's queen in the video conference, but given the popularity gained by Teams for coronavirus and teleworking, Redmond's company wants to take advantage of it. Although it will be a specially trained team of Microsoft Teams, it will work to discuss groups, share tasks, photos and other content.
But these are not the only changes compared to Office 365, because Word, Excel and Powerpoint can also add new functionalitys. Word adds a new editorial mode that, in addition to fixing misspellings, will show those words that we are repeating more in the text and will recommend others instead, along with other recommendations for improving our writing. Excel now supports other data such as restaurants, locations, and Pokémon. If for example we put silver tomatoes on it will show the nutritional value, being able to compare it to other foods. On the other hand, Powerpoint will add new features so that our presentations will not only be better, but tedious.

Microsoft has promised many changes and functionality with Microsoft 365. It is to no avail that millions of people around the world use their services and we find it best that instead of leaving things out, seek to not only give it a facelift but add new apps and features, all without raising the price. Yesterday we learned that the use of Microsoft cloud services had increased by 775% in recent weeks. There is no doubt that Microsoft knows how to take advantage of these difficult times.
