SharePoint Editions and Office 365 comparison

I needed an easy feature comparison sheet for SharePoint 2010 editions (Foundation, Server Standard and Enterprise) and SharePoint Online in Office 365. For this I used the very helpful Editions Comparison page by Microsoft plus the Office 365 Beta SharePoint Online Standard Beta Description and poured all the info into a table.

Please note that I used the Beta Service Description to get my info, this is just a summary and the info might be subject to change.
