<p>Microsoft's new Office 365 Home Premium subscription version has proven so popular with customers that it has reached one million subscribers faster than many popular online services have, the company has claimed.</p><p>According to somewhat vague sales figures announced on Wednesday, it took the Home Premium edition of Office 365 launched in January of this year just around three and a half months to sign up a million customers.</p><p>By comparison, Redmond claims, Hulu Plus took five months to reach the same milestone, Dropbox took seven months, and Facebook took ten months. Of the seven companies Microsoft surveyed, only Instagram beat Office 365 Home Premium's sign-up rate, adding one million subscribers in just two and a half months.</p><p>It's not too surprising that the Home Premium edition of Office 365 should do well, given that it's clearly the version that offers the sweetest deal for customers. Home Premium subscribers can install the full Office suite on up to five devices and each device can belong to a different family member, provided they all live under the same roof all for just $100 per year.</p><p><a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/05/29/office_365_million_subscribers/">Keep reading...</a></p>
