Microsoft has finally launched its Office 365 software subscription service in China, where it will be operated by the local company 21Vianet. The government of Shanghai is an early adopter.



From Neowin:

Microsoft launched its Office 365 software subscription service in June 2011, but the world's biggest country in terms of population, China, was not among those countries that got access to the service. That finally changed this week as Office 365 became generally available in that part of the world.

In a post on the official Office blog, Microsoft said that Office 365 will be operated in China locally by 21Vianet. Even though the service launched in that country just this week, a number of major customers have already signed up to use Office 365, including the government of Shanghai
