Limited Preview of Microsoft Office Web Apps 2010

Microsoft is making a limited preview of Office Web Apps, as introduction for Office 2010, and for more widely-available beta of Web Apps will arrive this fall. I’ve got this information from ReadWriteWeb.

And here is the summary.

Word:

• Sharing capability is a big improvement.
• Users have to install Silverlight for zooming in and out.

Excel:

• Lightweight version of ‘desktop’ Excel.
• Charting feature not included.

Powerpoint:

• Slide decks are not available.
• Allow full editing for anyone.

All of them will be embeded on Internet Explorer, the native browser from Microsoft. And i think, this is just the begining of how Microsoft, Google Docs and any other vendors that develop Web-based  Spreadsheet processor  will do anything to engage loyal users.
