#2When Office 365 came out, I mostly compared the price to Google Apps and didn't really think Office 365 brought that much value.
Now, you can have a Google Apps, Slack, Trello, and Evernote alternative for your business under one subscription. Even if you choose the plan for installed Office applications on your computer, the price is still much more attractive than having to get a subscription for every one of the competitors.
Edit: They even have a Zapier and IFTTT competitor:

#4Strange choice of hero photo to promote a chat-based virtual workspace: a team of people sitting around a table, thus having no need for the product.

#5Seems like a shame that it is bundled with the overhead of Office 365. Makes Slack feel like a lighter-weight option.

Actually you made a great case for why these guys should partner, integrate their products in a clean, natural way, and then make it as easy as ever for existing and new customers to hop onto all at once -- combo SaaS.

#8The cheapest plan for Office 365 that includes this is the $5/user/month, which undercuts Slack's pricing.
It also includes a bunch of other stuff that I'm far less excited about; I wish they had gone with a more a la carte approach. I'm not confident that I'll be able to easily integrate this with the identities that I routinely use.
Also, it seems like an unwieldy name -- "I'll 'team' that to you", or "let's discuss this on 'team'"? I guess you'll just use "chat" and assume that context conveys the remainder.

GSuite has a similar image. I think the idea is teams are collaborating over the internet https://gsuite.google.com/
