Today, as announced via the Windows Team Blog, Microsoft has released their Office Web Apps which tie in with the release of Office 2010 next week. Available now via office.live.com you will be able to edit and create Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets and OneNote notes for free and stored via Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud service. Of course because the apps are free and on the web, there is limited functionality compared to the full Office 2010 software suite
The Office Web Apps are available around the world, but as of right now they are only available in English until Microsoft translates the suite. Using your SkyDrive, you are given a free 25 GB of online storage which is plenty for your online documents, as well as uploaded documents from the desktop version of Office 2010. Web Apps also allows collaboration between multiple people editing a single document simultaneously, which is a nice addition if you want a group Office project.
