Redmond goes all-in on the Windows Store

Microsoft is trying to make the Windows Store for everything Windows 10, and after expanding it with Windows themes, browser extensions, and music, the company is now bringing Office 365 subscriptions to make it easier for adopters of its newest OS to purchase them.

Twitter user WalkingCat has discovered some new listings in the Windows Store that make it possible for Windows 10 users to purchase Office 365 subscriptions more easily than before.

As you can see in the screenshot in the article, Microsoft uses just a codename for Office 365 Home (in this case Breakfast, as the company somehow picked food-related names for its internal projects), and the prices are just placeholders for now, but final details should go live sometime in early May.

Users will be able to purchase any subscription they want from the Windows Store, as long as they configured a payment method, and most Office 365 versions are likely to be available as well.

The company is projected to take the wraps off the new Windows 10 Cloud on May 2, as part of a press conference that’ll witness the debut of full Office apps in the Windows Store as well.

The same event is likely to host the release of Office 365 subscriptions in the Windows Store, so full details should be provided to us in approximately one week.
