Microsoft's web-based Office: First taster goes live

Microsoft started public testing for the first browser-based version of Office on Thursday, although the technology preview is perhaps more notable for what it doesn't include than what it does offer.
The limited test of the so-called Office Web Apps includes versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint but not the OneNote note-taking application. And while Excel and PowerPoint offer the ability to edit and create documents, the current web-based version of Word can only be used to view documents, essentially the same capability it already offers as part of its current Office Live Workspace product.
Microsoft said the web versions of OneNote and Word share "the same editing surface", and that the technology is still being worked on.
