> Office 365 Home and Personal subscribers totaled more than 5.6 million
I'm surprised that's so low, especially considering that 1.1 billion people use Microsoft Office [1]. Given how hard Microsoft has been pushing Office 365, I'd've [2] thought the number of users would be far greater.
It does seem low, but Office 365 Home and Personal (not Business!) subscribers are buying it themselves rather than using licenses purchased for them by an organization. The vast majority of those 1.1 billion users are undoubtedly not personally paying for the software and are instead part of volume license deals.
