Microsoft Office Online

OneNote is included! Wow you have no idea how happy that makes me as a OneNote user since 2006 or so. It's my favorite part of Office.

Unfortunately it's nowhere near the quality of the native versions and they only introduce small updates every quarter.

Hopefully one day...

does this mean they finally see google docs as a real threat?

The constant replies of " Did X do Y because X views Z as a threat?" is approaching meme level.

Does anyone know how they have implemented it? Looking at the page source there is lots of javascript involved, as you would expect. Are they using the DOM or a Canvas that fills the screen?

Well i'd be hard pressed to believe Microsoft did it out of the goodness of their proverbial heart

They should make Office free. These days, more and more non-techie friends are starting to use OpenOffice on their own. While OO quality is no where near Microsoft Office's, OO writer and Powerpoint are good enough for simple usage. And people, don't make fancy PP anymore. They just need something that can read ppt and something they can play.
