It is free? MS released their main product for free? Unbelievable. Their must be some catch here or I am missing something, either functional restrictions or buying a skydrive account. Well, looking forward to trying this out. Potential to be big in academic environments, especially with formatting fidelity.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So just because other tools have this feature it is bad that Office gets it too? I use Microsoft Office and this is certainly a welcomed feature.
This feature has been essential for so many years that I've stopped using Office entirely. Most of my docs are shared and edited among a few collaborators. I'll reconsider office 1.) when it is free 2.) when it works seamlessly on a Mac.
So, for the past year or two? https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/myoffice.aspx
The free online Office apps work great in Chrome on both Windows and Mac (not sure about Linux).
I think I don't get the point. Real-time collaboration is something we have already (google docs, hackpad, ...). And besides, if it's true that it works only for IE, what's the point? EDIT: A guy in this thread told it works only for IE, then this statement was fixed in "also works on Chrome". Since I'm a GNU/Linux user I could not verify myself.

The online Office suite has much less functionality compared to desktop versions.
The most loyal Office users are not the people who write 2 page long documents. For example think of a bank who has completely customized Excel so it displays real-time market data. Now that's where you _need_ the full suite.

I cringe at the thought that some people consider this to be startup-relevant news (or even hacker-relevant news, for that matter). I flagged this submission, I hope the usual complainers understand why. If you don't, by all means, please elaborate.

Agree, but then the same should hold for all the 'samsung beats apple in the cell phone market' nonsense.

It's probably much more relevant to hackers that how important role India plays in controlling AIDS (or, for that matter, the daily BTC/Tesla/etc. posts).

But obviously, you are entitled to your own decisions.
