6 Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Online Versus On Premise Differences

If you can not see the video above, you can view it at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3svjAwfzimI

The 6 differences between CRM 2011 Online versus On Premise are:

1. CRM 2011 Online does not support custom workflow dlls
2. CRM 2011 Onpremise – doesn’t have the Internet Lead Capture Feature
3. CRM 2011 Online makes it impossible to database restore to a specific date/time
4. CRM 2011 Online limits you to 200 custom workflows and 200 custom entities
5. CRM 2011 Online requires you to use the Windows Live ID (AD integration is coming, but it is not here yet)
6. CRM 2011 Online does not offer an email router — this must be locally hosted

Are there any other differences people should know about?
