    Ok. the store version gets the updates, the version you get from MS website does not.

    No, just the opposite. I also think the on-line version gives you more OneDrive Storage.

    I pay for 365 anyways. so I get 1tb, my wife gets 1tb and my two sons get 1 tb each! I would have thought the store version would get the updates faster than the version you download from MS because thats the entire point of the store.

    fyi, if you have a paid 365 account, you can "unlock" the editing features for the android version of MS office on devices with 10.1" screens or bigger. (mostly chromebooks with android support).
