Office 2010 web apps make a partial debut
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft finally began the promised, invitation-only technical preview of its Office 2010 Web Apps on Thursday, slightly later than originally promised. One caveat, though: it's not a beta test release yet and as such, it's missing a few critical capabilities and features.
Longer term, if Microsoft pulls everything off, it's going to be a heck of a deal for consumers. How does "free" sound? When they're finished in the first half of next year, the Office Web Apps will be made available for free to nearly 500 million online users, including Live Hotmail, Live Messenger, and Live ID users.
