In a November 2009 interview, Takeshi Numoto discussed the upcoming Office 2010 lineup. He stated that Microsoft was simplifying its offering from eight to five editions, describing this as a "big theme" that would make it easier for partners and customers to choose the right product. Numoto also said that each suite would include more applications, such as the addition of SharePoint Workspace and OneNote to Office Professional Plus, and that OneNote would be included in all suites. Numoto further explained that all volume-licensed versions of Office 2010 would include the ability to run Office Web Apps on-premises. He contrasted this with competitors, saying that they require all data to be in the cloud, which he argued gives businesses less choice and control. Numoto characterized this on-premises deployment option as a key differentiator for Microsoft.
