As part of the upcoming release of Office 2010, Microsoft are extending Word, Powerpoint, Excel and OneNote to the web browser.
The Web Apps will offer the same high fidelity as the desktop versions, so documents, graphs, images and slides will appear exactly the same in the Web Apps as they do in Office 2010. Making edits with the Web Apps will not cause any loss in the quality of the document.
For consumers, there will be a free version on Skydrive with 25Gb of storage.
Businesses can use them with either SharePoint or the Microsoft Online Services.
