      I wasn't able to find any information about if/how this would impact mobile devices, either using the official MS Outlook client or the native mobile email clients.

        If I understand the article correctly, MS is only forcing users to use currently supported software to connect to Office 365 products so while even Office 2016 is no longer officially going to be able to connect to Office 365 services, whatever version of the then current MS Office would be able to (that's assuming they will produce another perpetual version by then - which would be doubtful now).

        My understanding was that no more connecting standalone products with the Office 365 products.

          I can see both sides the issues and why they do it.

          Think I not keen as I'm still not a believer of subscription based stuff (mainly down to costs lol)

            Subscription != higher cost

            That's an illusion. No one likes higher costs. The difference is purely capex vs opex

                Do you outright buy your cellular phone and plan?

                          I do.

                          I do too, it's a lot cheaper to do it that way.

                          You can pay monthly through your carrier for an over-priced locked U.S. version PLUS interest... or you can buy an international unlocked version cheaper from Amazon.

                              I do. It's becoming more and more common.
