I had reported that in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2019\/01\/20\/microsoft-365-is-coming-for-consumers\/\">Microsoft 365 is coming for consumers<\/a> Microsoft's boss Satya Nadella indicated in a interview with journalists in January 2019 that Microsoft 365 will also be available for consumers (i.e. outside corporate environments).<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft introduced Microsoft 365 in mid-2017 for enterprise environments. It is a subscription model that allows companies to rent Windows 10, the Office 365 portfolio, and Enterprise Mobility + Security (a collection of features equipped with identity and device management tools) for their employees.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Microsoft 365 coming soon for end users?<\/h2>\n<p>Various US media, including Mary Foley, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/is-microsoft-getting-closer-to-launching-its-expected-microsoft-365-consumer-subscription\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report observations<\/a> of various users whose office was suddenly renamed Microsoft 365.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is Microsoft getting closer to launching its expected Microsoft 365 Consumer subscription? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LvDFDDjlHY\">https:\/\/t.co\/LvDFDDjlHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mary Jo Foley (@maryjofoley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maryjofoley\/status\/1174749020453003265?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 19, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p>In recent days, some Twitter users have published screenshots showing that their Office 365 products are being renamed \"Microsoft 365\".

Customers can continue to purchase Office 365 ProPlus without Windows and Intune. \"<\/p>\n<p>It remains thus everything quite speculative.
