Nice, that means more businesses will finally be able to escape the total microsoft dependence and just use the products they need.
One can hope.
You mean Microsoft will recoup the cost of unbundling by charging more per product compared to the previous bundle, given that it's now different products?
'cause at work the powers that be has gone all-in on MS and this decision won't change a bit their "strategy".
Of course they will, but the fact that businesses don't have to buy everything as a pack means that they will consider alternatives to office and onedrive instead of just using what they pay for already.
