<p>It's been over a year since Microsoft launched its subscription-based version of Microsoft Office, dubbed Office 365. For $100 a year, the suite can be installed on as many as five PCs and also offered other incentives, like additional SkyDrive (now known as OneDrive) storage and 100 minutes of international Skype calling.</p><p>One of the selling points of this new software model was that Microsoft could be more agile, pushing improvements to users without waiting for the standard three-year product upgrade cycle. We've seen very little of that kind of agile publishing, though there are finally some significant updates on their way.</p><p>Announced recently at the Las Vegas SharePoint Conference, Office will soon include features aimed to improve collaboration and connectivity between users sharing documents within Office.
