When you're ready to move forward with an Office 365 subscription, a web search for "office 365" will certainly find the latest plans and prices. I am not documenting the plans or even providing URLs in this article, as I expect Microsoft to change the plans and the links over time. The various plans contain different Office modules and have different costs. Currently, one of the Office 365 subscriptions (Office 365 Business Essentials) has only web versions of the Office modules, while the other Office 365 subscriptions (Office 365 Business, Office 365 Business Premium, Office 365 Home, and Office 365 Personal) have both web versions and Office 2016 desktop versions. Office 365 has a subscription (recurring) licensing model, while Office 2016 has a perpetual (one-time) licensing model. Having mentioned Office 365, let's take a detour on that. This article explains how to install Picture Manager with Office 2016/Office 365. Whether that's true or not, many users still prefer Picture Manager, and if you went straight from Office 2010 (or earlier) to Office 2016/Office 365, you may be surprised and disappointed to find that it is missing. Microsoft's position on this is that Windows Photo Gallery (previously called Windows Live Photo Gallery), which supersedes Picture Manager, has the same functionality as Picture Manager, and more. Many users, this author included, had high hopes that the folks at Microsoft would include it in Office 2016/Office 365, but they did not. This was necessitated by Microsoft's removal of Picture Manager from the Office 2013 suite - it had been included in Office 2003, Office 2007, and Office 2010. In a previous article here at Experts Exchange, I explained how to install Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2010 with Office 2013.
