On June 7, 2010, Microsoft released Office 2010 Web Apps (www.office2010. microsoft.com) on SkyDrive (www.skydrive.com) for users in the US. You can now upload, create, view, edit, and share Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote documents from virtually anywhere. To use Office 2010 Web Apps you do not need to have Office 2010 desktop version.
The Office Web App does not provide all the functionalities available in a desktop application. However, it does provide limited functionalities that are needed for editing, communicating and collaborating when two or more people need to work on a document together. The Web Apps on SkyDrive allows multiple users to access and edit a particular document at the same time, and no one can get locked out of the document. The Web Apps also maintains a version history, so that if you make a mistake or don't like what someone has done to the document, you can go back to the previous version of the document. The Web Apps also include enhanced search capability and a more comprehensive drill-down into currently stored files.
To use Office Web Apps, simply go to http://www.skydrive.com or http://office.live.com and sign in with a Windows Live account. The Windows Live SkyDrive provides upto 25GB free online storage space.
