Funny how few comments there are on this one. As much as MS isn't the hotness right now, this is a cool product to retroactively add third-party collaboration feature to a complex app. Hats off to you guys as that seems like an impressive feat for such a mature project.

Thanks endergen! You're right, this isn't something that gets a lot of excitement in places like HN but it gets a ton of enthusiasm from our users. And yes, there is impressive technology under the hood.

Stypi is phenomenal! Looking forward to the vim plugin. I see a tremendous number of use cases, especially as it starts to be integrated into more and more apps.

This is us (LiveLoop). If any HNers are using PowerPoint 2007 and need to collaborate in Wave-like realtime with colleagues, email me at amal@getliveloop.com and I will set you up with a free account.

something that 750 million people already use: Microsoft PowerPoint. Millions, certainly, but 750 million? What's your source for this? (I ask because it exceeds similar estimates I've seen for Excel.)
