Yes. Yammer and SharePoint already can be connected using available web parts to pull in data from Yammer and Open Graph technology to push information from 3rd party systems into the Yammer stream. (MJF: Here’s Microsoft’s timetable for fully integrating Yammer and SharePoint .

7. Is it possible to mix and match different O365 subscriptions? IE. Having some users on an E1 plan and others on the E2/Midsize business plan?

You can mix plans within a plan family so yes you can mix Enterprise E1, E3, E4, K1 plans. You can also mix Small Business plans P1 and P2 plans. M plans cannot be mixed with any others.

8. When Will Existing Office365 Users Be Required To Move? Can We Move On Our Own Schedule?

The service upgrade for existing Office 365 customers is progressing now. Once you are notified of the upgrade you can defer that one time for 45-60 days. For more information about the service upgrade refer to: http://community.office365.com/en us/wikis/office_365_service_updates/office-365-service-upgrade-center-for-enterprise.aspx

9. Will organizations using Live@edu be able to move their SkyDrive files directly to Office 365 for Education, now that SkyDrive is part of the offering?

Students and teachers who have been using SkyDrive with Live@edu will continue to have access to their documents and files stored on SkyDrive. They can easily move files between their consumer SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro provided by the organizations with Office 365. There is no way for an organization to move these files on behalf of the use.

10. Will There Be Still An E2 Plan?

We are including Office Web Apps included in E1, which enables even more of our customers to get use of Office Web Apps while simplifying our lineup. E2 will continue to be available for existing customers.
I’ve seen a bit of confusion about what constitutes an upgrade vs. an update in Office 365 land. The easiest way to think about this is an upgrade is a whole new version of Office 365 (similar to what a new release would be in Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and/or Office). An update is a set of more minor fixes and updates, which the Office 365 team has said it plans to provide quarterly to those using the hosted services.

11. What’s An “include” File?

“include” files are ones that contain information that will be incorporated into a program file when it executes.Typically, these files contain parameters or commonly used code. However, they should never contain sensitive information like passwords. If this recommendation has been followed, even an attacker who could read the files would gain nothing from them.

12. Mention what is recommended when you are using an exchange account for your work when you are offline?

It is suggested that you use Cached Exchange Mode when you are using an exchange account for your work, as it eliminates all the reason to work offline. With Cache Exchange Mode, you can keep continuing working even if you are disconnected with the network. Cached Exchange Mode uses a folder file (.ost) and manages a synchronized copy of the items in all folder in the mailbox when you are offline. As soon as you are connected to the network, it syncs your data automatically to the server without losing any data.

13. Is It Possible For Current P (small-business) Plan Customers To Upgrade To The M (mid-size Business) Plan?

Existing customers on the P1 version of Office 365 will be able to upgrade to the Midsize Business SKU later this year. New Office 365 Small Business and Small Business Premium customers will also be able to upgrade to the Midsize Business SKU later this year.

14. Can I Integrate Yammer With Sharepoint?

Yes. Yammer and SharePoint already can be connected using available web parts to pull in data from Yammer, and Open Graph technology to push information from 3rd party systems into the Yammer stream.
