<p>Today at its analyst event, Microsoft announced a new milestone for its Office 365 Home Premium product: 2 million subscribers. That's up 100 percent, or 1 million subscribers, since May 29. Office 365 Home Premium is the company's cloud productivity suite for consumers that they pay for on a subscription basis.</p><p>Previously, Microsoft touted that it had signed up its first 1 million consumer subscribers for Office 365 Home Premium in 100 days. It has been 113 days since it announced the 1 million figure. So Microsoft, presuming that it reached the 2 million mark today, is adding subscribers at almost the same pace as it did around the launch period.</p><p>However, as the company is simply stating that it has "more than" 2 million Office 365 Home Premium subscribers, it would not surprise me if the product was either keeping pace with its former sales levels, or has accelerated slightly. At 2 million subscribers, Office 365 Home Premium is a $200 million yearly business.</p><p>Office 365, Microsoft said today, was (as a total product) the fastest Microsoft service to $1 billion in yearly revenue run rate in the history of the company. Here's the slide that details the 2 million figure:</p><p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/19/microsofts-office-365-consumer-edition-doubles-to-2m-subscribers-since-may/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-office-365-at-1-5-billion-annual-run-rate-7000020917/">Microsoft: Office 365 at $ 1.5 billion annual run rate</a> (ZDNet)</p><p><a href="http://www.business2community.com/email-marketing/microsoft-office-365-throws-email-marketers-curve-ball-0621308">Microsoft Office 365 Throws Email Marketers A Curve Ball</a> (Business 2 Community)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dRabxJR71y4lhfM-gXtkFQnSSkKGM&ned=us">4 additional articles.</a></p>
