Does an Office 365 Home Premium subscription come with ad-free outlook.com e-mail, or would I still need to pay an additional $20/year?

    Office 365 subscription does not include Ad-Free Outlook.com.

    It does include OneDrive, Installing Office software on multiple devices, access to the latest Office apps and 60 Skype World minutes - but no Ad-Free Outlook.com.

    I currently subscribe to Office 365 and also have a subscription to the Ad-Free Outlook here: 

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/ad-free-outlook

    A part of me feels this is a cheap / sneaky way of monetizing something that is already being paid for, but then again, I do think I'm getting a good deal with the Office 365 subscription overall.

    For Microsoft:

    My suggestion for Microsoft is to make this information clearly available in the Outlook.com interface and the Users Account Settings.  I would suggest modifying the Subscription portal to indicate Ad-Free Outlook as a separate subscription.

    Hello Andre,

    Ad-free Outlook.com feature is not a part of Office 365 subscription.

    Check the following link to read more about Ad-free Outlook.com.

    If you have further questions related to this, please let me know.

    Thank you.

    Great reply.. and thanks.  I use MSOutlook 2011 on my Macbook.  I quite like it, though it is open to hacks.  I once clicked on a link that opened my outlook and erased all of my email and contacts and wiped my archives.  Fortunately, I also use Apple's "Mail" and another great app called "AirMail".  It promises to take over.  Very fast and useful app.

    Microsoft long ago lost its ability to respond to the market.  Just like Bill wanting to control the population with the use of vaccines, Microsoft appears to suffer the illusion that it can control the market with its offerings.  They just don't get it.  The new Office 365 interface sucks!  My organization opted for it, but 3/4 of the 500 users gave up Outlook and moved to gmail because the interface is so poor. 

    First off, the interface is designed by children with perfect eyesight, so they think that its cool to use grey on white for text.  You no longer get a nice solid black on white.  This is ok if you are 20, but no good for people who are over 40.    Try using the program for a half day and you'll wonder why you feel so aggressive and angry.  Yup. It's the MS interface designed for kids.   

    You can't get the message to anyone who cares either.  Try support and you end up in India, where they just follow a script.  Sadly, MS will have to crash before it realizes what's going on.  Too bad really.

    :)

    Thanks for the reply Doug... As an Office 365 subscriber myself, I use the full version of Outlook when on my home pc, but the question remains as to whether we, as Office 365 subscribers, must pay an additional fee to get an ad-free version of Outlook.com... which I also use regularly remotely.
