For Paul Garlick: Here's an EHLO post on the Exchange Administration Center: blogs.technet.com/.../managing-the-new-exchange.aspx and one specifically on managing hybrid: blogs.technet.com/.../the-cloud-on-your-terms-part-ii-managing-hybrid.aspx. EAC is essentially the same whether you're managing it on-prem or online with some minor differences and if you have a hybrid deployment, you'll be able to toggle between both with the same experience.

Will the Exchange 2013 console manage 0365 recipient settings the same as 2010?

@Jake H - More information on when Exchange Online customers get to see new Exchange capabilities is not yet available but stay tuned.

@pesos - This is covered in a two part blog post for this week. The first covers hybrid deployment and the second will cover management: blogs.technet.com/.../the-cloud-on-your-terms-part-i-deploying-hybrid.aspx

@PAReed - Public folders are not supported in the current iteration of Exchange Online. However, modern public folders will be in the new version. You can try the customer preview and get some high level info here: www.microsoft.com/.../exchange-preview.aspx

You mention, "Public Folders are now supported in Exchange Online with new, modern public folders. We’ll supply a method to help you get your legacy public folders to modern public folders in the cloud." If this is indeed true, where can I find more information? The only documentation I can find still states Public Foldes are not available in O365/Exchange Online.

Great writeup! Any idea when existing O365 users will be migrated to the Exchange 2013 back end?

@KMSigma - Yes, you can move the mailbox back on-premises from the EAC.

We currently offer Exchange Online Archiving - for organizations who only want to store their In-Place Archive in the cloud, but keep their mailbox on-premises. This storage space is unlimited (but for technical reasons, it starts with a 100GB quota and will be increased as needed).

@Don - Exchange Online stores multiple copies of each message for redundancy. Additionally, there is a 99.9% SLA on availability. If you'd like to keep a backup on-premises, there are a few third party tools that can do that - but it's not something that most organizations do in Exchange Online.

The 25GB is per user. If people need more space, we offer unlimited storage in the Exchange Online Plan 2 offering.

Yes, you may but Exchange Online standalone, but you would obviously lose the benefit of not having the other offerings.
