This is great news. It is long past due that Visio be added to an Office bundle. It was a sad day when the Visio team sold out to MS, killing the free version of Visio. I hope "you" extend this new deal to the desktop bundles too so more business users can use the "real" app.
In the longer term, I hope they extend this offer to the consumer 365 bundles too. That was the original point of creating the "Office bundle". Let people buy a cheap copy for use at home that included "all" of the apps so they could "play" with app and learn on their own time, at home.
I read the blog post. The list of bundles that will get the online app is a ... unreadable !!!MESS!!! It has no logical order and appears to include some duplicate entries
1 The Visio web app in Microsoft 365 will be available for the following licenses: Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft 365 Apps for business, Office 365 E1, Office 365 E3, Office 365 E5, Office 365 F3, Microsoft 365 F3 (includes Office 365 F3), Microsoft 365 E3 (includes Office 365 E3), Microsoft 365 E5 (includes Office 365 E5), Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, Office 365 A1, Office 365 A3, Office 365 E5, Microsoft 365 A1 (one-time, per-device license paired with free Office 365 A1 per user licenses), Microsoft 365 A3 (includes Office 365 A3), Microsoft 365 A5 (includes Office 365 A5).
I restructured that list to make it readable, ie:
The Visio web app in Microsoft 365 will be available for the following licenses Microsoft 365 … :
. * Business Basic,
. * Business Standard,
. * Business Premium,
. * Apps for business,
. * Apps for enterprise,
. * A1, A3, A5
. * E1, E3, E5,
. * F3
.
I'm guessing/assuming that they will be adding Visio to the sales pages in July?

What about F1 and Office 365 F3

Any idea if the addition of new apps will include Project?
