At this year's Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC), it was revealed that Redmond would be releasing Microsoft Office Web Applications. Microsoft Office Web Applications will be a  new service that will allow creating, editing, collaborating, and sharing documents using the web. According to a Microsoft run blog, Office Web Applications will work on Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer, on multiple platforms including Linux.

 

It will be interesting to if Microsoft provides a free version of the Office Web Applications considering the availability of Google Docs. Office Web Applications can be expected in the next version of Microsoft Office - Office 14.

 

For those on 'alternative' platforms, will you support the new Office Web Applications?
