Starting today, new users of Office 365 will get the new Exchange/Lync/Sharepoint 2013 components in their tenants. It will take a few months for existing customer tenants to be upgraded.
You can already see that they have updated the sign-in page.

GAL segmentation coming to Office 365
The ability to provide separate GAL views to users in Exchange Online tenants will be available in Wave 15 of Office 365!
Why is this a big deal?
This means that hosting different groups of users in a single tenant, however keeping them separated is possible. Let's say for example you have single organization but 2 departments that operate independently from each other. In this scenario, you may not want them to see each other in the GAL. With the new address book policies feature you can maintain this segmentation without needing to create a separate Office 365 tenant for each department.
See the ExchangeTeamBlog for more details.
Import PST's in O365 (New PST capture tool from Microsoft)
Ever have a need to import PST files in to Exchange Online and discovered that the New-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet is not an option like it is in Exchange On-Premise? This is because you cannot access file shares from the cloud, so the cmdlet is useless in Exchange Online. The good news is the Exchange team has released an updated version of the PST capture tool. With it, you can do batch or single files uploads of PST files into Exchange Online mailboxes.
See the Exchange team blog for the download, details and documentation.
