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?

    I use an iOS phone and tablet, and I use iCloud on my PC. For example, it's convenient for scheduling appointments and reminders from the PC (but the interface is crippled--e.g., you can't set travel time, and you can't set up a custom recurrence like the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, in iCloud for PC. I have to go to an iOSdevice to specify this). But it won't even let you see/send sms/mms/iMessage messages on your PC.

    Another big reason for considering the switch is the fact that when I interviewed (unsuccessfully) for a SWDEV position at Google, everyone seemed to use Macs. Also, the underlying Unix nature of modern versions of MacOS would be very convenient; I get tired of the quirks/incompatibilities of Cygwin on Windows. 

    So it's for a variety of reasons.

    But thank you for the helpful suggestion.

    I've had to answer this question for myself. Please forgive th salt in my last comments, but it stings like I said. But no, ad free outlook.com is not included with office 365. Its going to cost me another £15 a year.

    I'm sure I'd previously seen adverts that said it was included. Sure of it.

    Anyway, I'm still huming and haring about getting it. Anybody else think its worth it?

    Ad-free Outlook.com does NOT come with your Home 365 subscription.  You will still get ads as if you were a regular "free webmail" user.

    Apparently Microsoft's view is that Outlook.com and your purchase and reliance on client side programs such as Outlook 2016, the use of which you are technically and exclusively purchasing by subscribing, are separate sub-MS-ecosystems.  It would stand to reason that once you subscribe to 365 and thus officially indoctrinate yourself as part of the MS line of working that ad-free Outlook.com would be included.  It's not an unreasonable expectation.  If you sign up with GSuites (formally Google Apps), for example, this is exactly what happens.  Ads across all services go away. For $5/month you have a business relationship (not a "free web user" relationship) that includes e-mail and a line of productivity applications.   You feel like you're actually doing serious work.

    That Microsoft would stutter, hesitate, or struggle with the same perspective is disturbing.
