Apart from the customised domains, Outlook Premium would also offer an ad free experience, better calendar sharing. All of these you get for a $3.99 per month and it is yet not clear on if the Microsoft 365 subscribers will get it for no extra cost. The $3.99 we are talking about is for the standalone product.

For those who are not familiar with the binary code, the initial number listed there was said to have been 17, followed by 16 yesterday, and 15 today. Since the number changes each day, it supposedly counts down to December 9th, most probably the day when the new tablet PC would be made available for pre-order for all of those who are interested in purchasing it....
