Microsoft today unveiled Office 365, a new service that brings your familiar Office software together with SharePoint, Exchange and Lync in the cloud. Available worldwide next year, Office 365 will replace the Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), Office Live Small Business and Live@edu services.
