Paul Thurrott, writing for Thurrott.com: A support document describing new premium Outlook.com features for Office 365 subscribers hides the real story today: Microsoft just killed Outlook.com Premium. I wrote earlier about how Microsoft was bringing some Outlook.com Premium features, like an ad-free inbox, to Office 365 Home and Personal subscribers. That’s great news, of course. But a related support document buries the lede. “The Outlook.com Premium standalone offering is now closed to new subscribers,” the support document notes. “Current subscribers can renew their subscriptions to continue receiving subscription benefits.” Yikes. There’s also a link to another support document that continues this conversation. But there really isn’t much more to say. If you’re already using Outlook.com Premium, you can continue to do so. And for now, at least, you can even renew the subscription and keep using its unique features, like custom domain support.
