Earlier Microsoft launched SharePoint, Exchange and Lync as online services in 2009, calling it the Business Productivity Online Suite, or BPOS. Customers are currently sending and receiving 167 billion messages every day from its cloud services (Ref:- Kurt DelBene, president of Microsoft's Office Division)
Now with Office 365 a new cloud-based version of a suite of productivity tools that combines SharePoint, Exchange, Lync (formerly Communications Server), and both the Office Web applications and the Office Pro Plus desktop client. Dubbed Office 365, the suite goes into beta today (sign up here). BPOS seems history, welcome Office 365.

Chris Capossela, senior vice president of Microsoft's Office Division said Microsoft has created what it feels is a highly competitive pricing structure, because it really wants to capture the small business market. Microsoft is including single sign-on access all of these services, Capossela said. Enterprises also have the option to get Microsoft Office Professional Plus desktop software on a pay-as-you-go basis. Microsoft is opening a limited Office 365 beta program in seven languages and thirteen countries around the world.
Hope Office 365 retain the familiar client experience that everyone knows and loves with a rich back-end.
