The web version of the Microsoft Office suite is available now. You can enjoy it at http://office.live.com and its integrated with your SkyDrive for storage, giving you 25GB of free storage space for you documents. The web Office suite includes four applications, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and OneNote. The applications are as expected, heavily feature limited.
Word only has the standard formatting options. Excel has cell formatting options, and basic support for filtering and sorting. Powerpoint perhaps is the most severely handicapped. Gone is the support for animation, and transitions, only simple slides for you. Being a web application, there is much greater support for collaboration and sharing documents, and Office Web Apps give you control over who all you want to share the document with. There is also some support for versioning, as you can browse previously saved versions of documents.
The office suite provides most of the basic features you would use in a word processor, or spreadsheet application, yet they don’t stand up as well against Google Docs except that you get greater storage space for free.
The Office suite is absolutely free, and available to all. You do not need to have an Office license to use the suite. You need to login at http://office.live.com with your hotmail/live ID. The Microsoft Office suite will work on all browsers without the use of any plugins and work on any OS.
