Its still a yearly commitment to the licenses whether you pay for them montly or yearly. The only differnce is when it takes the money (monthly/year payment)

To confirm a few things from experience of doing this. RM Unify does not sync passwords to Office 365, if you remove federation, you will need to assign people passwords until you link up AD Connect. There is something called Soft Match and Hard Match when adding AD Connect. Soft Match is based on the UPN which has to be exact between AD and Office 365. You might decide to match based on the mail attribute in local AD to Azure AD UPN so you can keep the UPN the local domain name and save a little hassle. For hard match, there is a ID that is placed on the user that matches the source it is coming from (the sync source). RM Unify will have a different ID for the user as AD will. in Azure AD this attribute is the ImmutableId. For a hard match, clear this attribute after you have turned dirsync services off in Azure AD, then add the objectid of the Azure AD user to the matching user you want. The objectid need converting to Base64 code. Hard match will give you a higher chance of a success rate of a match . YOu can script all this ready to run and do it as an over night process. oh and don't forget to turn password sync on when installing AD Connect

Keep the location requests coming in so we can plan and see where the demand is - we want to do all over the country but knowing where demand is really helps us.

Its by design - the license is assigned by the account that is logged into office so it assumes that you want Outlook configured for that account too. -
Can only speak from the single account i have but never had a problem and they are adding lots of features. The porting of the number was my biggest worry but if you have everything setup correctly, Microsoft move the number at the time they state and calls just started coming to the new location

SharePoint app, Sites in OneDrive and the SharePoint tile show you sites you "follow", you'll notice it in the top right in sharepoint sites. the ideas being you only follow the important sites rather than all of them and is a customised site just for you. There are some products and features out that to help with image navigation so you have a landing page that you can then navigate to each of these and some people like to remove the sharepoint tile to save confusion.

good point - i guess its angled at those who are just using it rather than those who aren't :-) Thanks for the support though
