So does that mean a "365 midsize" company won't be able to use Group Policy to push out configuration changes to Office 2013 anymore? LAME! One thing I noticed that I think is concerning: "Enterprise Management of Apps: Group Policy, Telemetry, Shared Computer Activation" is missing from the "Business" features. Now all Office 365 plans support DirSync. (It was allowed under the licensing terms, but you still needed at least one VL copy to make it work due to technical limitations) "Enterprise" version of Office 365 will supposedly now be able to be run on Remote Desktop Services sessions. So if you have a bunch of seasonal employees/temps you no longer have to commit for the rest of the year. I noticed that "Business" plans no longer require an annual commitment, (but you do get a better rate if you do). So if you were a 365 "midsize" business that uses Access or Lync, prepare to shell out more money come renewal time. (So you essentially get Office 2013 Standard instead of "Professional Plus") I'm not sure how they can offer "Instant Messaging" without the Lync client. The "Business" tiers no longer include the desktop version of Lync or Access. But fortunately, it sounds like you will be allowed to mix and match between the two tiers.
Now there are only "Business" and "Enterprise" tiers. They seemed to have merged/abolished the Office 365 "Small Business" plans and the "Midsize Business" plans. I guess they announced this a while ago, Erik6041 mentioned this at our last SpiceCorps meetup. Microsoft unveiled some new changes to Office 365 plans and pricing.
