Microsoft channel boss Jon Roskill<\/a> told<\/a> Redmond Channel Partner<\/em><\/a> that “90 percent” of Office 365<\/strong> customers are from businesses with fewer than 50 employees, and explained, “small business is at the core of this product customer base.<\/em>” Mr. Roskill also said that Office 365 “penetration is still in the low single digits” in other words, less than 5%.<\/strong><\/p>\n
