Microsoft Unveils Office 2010, Free Online
Microsoft has announced more details about the company's planned foray into the online office applications market.
As suspected, Microsoft's today released more information about the suite of online applications set to rival the likes of Google Docs. First announced last October, Office Web will bring stripped down, lighter versions of Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint to customers' web browsers.
Microsoft has said that the software will be free and, similar to Google Docs and its availability to Gmail users, will be available to anyone with a Windows Live! account.
Office Web aside, the company also release some details about the full featured, offline version of Office 2010, which will bring a plethora of new features including co-authoring in Word and video editing in PowerPoint. Microsoft announced that Office 2010, SharePoint Server 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010 have reached the technical preview engineering milestone and starting today, tens of thousands of people will be invited to test Office and Visio as part of the Technical Preview program.
