-->Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription service that provides you with the latest version of the Office desktop applications that you're already familiar with, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Even though Office 365 is a cloud-based service, Office applications don't run in the cloud. Instead, users download Office applications from the Office 365 portal and install them on their local computers. Microsoft uses Click-to-Run technology to make the download and installation of Office applications fast and simple. Click-to-Run uses virtualization technology to run Office applications in a self-contained environment on a local computer, which allows users to run Office applications side-by-side with earlier versions of Office.
Office applications are available in 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
To compare features across plans, see Compare Office 365 for Business plans.
Feature availability across Office 365 plans
Use the following table to compare feature availability across Office 365 plans and volume licensed editions of Microsoft Office 2013 and Office 2016.
Several of the Office 365 for business plans have add-ons that you can buy for your subscription. An add-on provides additional functionality to the subscription. For more information, see Buy or edit an add-on for Office 365 for business.
