Microsoft's Free, Online Version of Office To Premiere This Week

Posted by timothy on from the file-formats-matter dept.

walterbyrd writes "Microsoft will offer an online version of Office 2010 for free. I have to wonder, will this remain free indefinitely? Or is Microsoft just trying to firmly establish its OOXML standard, then go back to business as usual?" Probably a harder sell after Google's acquisition of DocVerse.

    Remember that all Office applications embed a GUID in the document. My guess would be that the online version would as well. So your privacy is up for grabs.

    Oh joy! Does this mean I'll be able to track my documents via Facebook or will Facebook just do it for me without my knowledge?
