Solving Some Azure Active Directory User Synchronisation Issues on Office 365 We started moving over to Office 365 quite a while before we decided to ditch Notes mail and move to Outlook.

But due to the complexity of supporting such a large piece of software like a office suite its taken a little longer then what I expected. Here is a quick overview of Microsoft Office 2013 status on Linux once again.   Microsoft Office 2013 (code named Office 15) is a version of Microsoft Office, a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows. It is the successor to Microsoft Office 2010 and the predecessor to Microsoft Office 2016.
