Office Web Apps

We are excited to announce that today Office Web Apps are available on Windows Live. The initial release is available to Windows Live customers in the USA, Canada, Great Britain and Ireland with support for English, Spanish (USA) and French (Canada). More languages and locales will be added over the coming months.

This release includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote. The ability to edit Word documents and open OneNote notebooks is included. Not only do we want you to try these web apps, we also really want to hear what you think. Please use the feedback links in the web apps.

We’ll have more to share early next week when Office 2010 is released to consumers, including how Office 2010 + SkyDrive + Office Web Apps give you a great experience across the PC, phone and browser.

Check out Office Web Apps on Windows Live and read the Windows Live Announcement.

Last week I spent half an hour being interviewed for a podcast called RunAsRadio. The entire 36 minutes is now available. The first few minutes were spent talking about Clippy (the old Office animated paper clip) but eventually we actually covered Office Web Apps. I recall that we talked about what a Program Manager actually does, availability, multi-user authoring and security. Here’s the link.
