Surprise! Microsoft plans to make Microsoft 365 available to consumers

[harlan4096]

Job postings on Microsoft's Career website suggest that the company is planning to release a consumer version of Microsoft 365 in the future.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based software and service bundle that is only available to business customers at the time of writing. Microsoft launched it in 2017 and added more packages to it later that year.

It comes in several packages and includes Office 365 and Windows 10; bundles include different editions of Office 365 or Windows 10.

Microsoft 365 Enterprise for example includes Office 365 Enterprise, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Enterprise Mobile + Security.

The job posting confirms that Microsoft plans to make Microsoft 365 subscriptions available to consumers.

Do you want to work with engineering and outbound marketing to help us identify, build, position, and market a great new Microsoft 365 Consumer Subscription?

The job description reveals little about the actual plan or plans that will become available. Mary Jo Foleysuggests that bundles will include consumer editions of Office 365 and Windows 10, and also access to other Microsoft products and services such as Skype.
