The latest version of Microsoft Office is the company's best-selling edition to date, hitting the 1 million milestone just 100 days after its launch, Microsoft announced on Wednesday.
The company said Office 365 Home Premium -- also known as Office 2013 -- now has 1 million subscribers. The product, which was released in January and was designed for Windows 8, has been downloaded once every second, on average, since its debut.
In January, Microsoft made its new Office product available via subscription. Users can download it and install it on up to five computers and gain access to features including 20GB of SkyDrive storage, 60 minutes of Skype service and app updates. The option to download a standalone copy for just one machine (and no subscription) still exists, although Microsoft didn't release any numbers about that.
The milestone puts it "on pace with some of the most popular services around," according to the company. Microsoft included an infographic on its blog which shows how it stacks up against other companies who reached 1 million members -- and it's second only to Instagram, which pulled off the feat in just 2.5 months.
Other big hitters which hit 1 million users at a quick pace include Hulu Plus (5 months), Spotify (5 months), Dropbox (7 months), Facebook (10 months) and Foursquare (13 months).
