One side note is the amazon download is only a 1 pc option, so you buy one per PC, where as if you ever need office on a second device you just up the subscription by $2/mo which would be a tremendous savings.Also, iCloud and Office 365 are completely separate products. iCloud handles data backup mainly, where as Office 365 is the subscription platform for all of Microsoft's products.Also, Dpeends on where you work, Ryan, But most companies have a microsfot HUP program for their employees which gives you a license to 2016 office for 5 PCs for a one time cost of 9.99.
