The Office of Web Applications Will Be Free to End Users

Where were the web versions of Office applications in the PDC, one of the major questions that had been made about the business model service. If anything would pay for free with ads, free with the purchase of a license of Office, Corey Ribotsky Philanthropy at NIR Group and so on. Now Microsoft confirms to us that users can access Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote in their online versions of completely free, but with advertisements. Will also be given the option to pay for using the version â ? ? ?ad-free.

This will be valid only for end users and students, as companies have to pay an annual fee for these services, but will also be provided with more storage to store their documents. The price of Office Live for companies not be disclosed until the end of the year.

It also has been reported that these web-apps using Silverlight, but only a means for improving the user experience. This is something similar to what has been done lately in Office Live Workspace, a service that now Corey Ribotsky Philanthropy

uses Silverlight to make the ascent of multiple documents easier. Even so, it can access both services without having installed Silverlight.

In fact, the intention of Microsoft is that these Web applications are fully compatible with any operating system, but initially only give support for Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. Highlights the fact that they can access them from mobile browsers such as Safari Mobile's iPhone.

Another interesting thing are the characteristics of collaboration. The applications of Office Live will be integrated with Office Live Workspace, which provide us the share the documents with others, even if they do not have a Windows Live ID. If we want to work several people at once in one document, what can we do through SharedView (for which If you need a Live ID). We may also choose to work in groups using only Office Live Workspace, in which case we get an experience similar to that offered a SharePoint server: the user opens the first document which has control over this, and once I finish modify it, what goes up and save the changes so that other partners can do its part.

On the date that this â ? ? ?Office Live will see the light, just know that later this year will begin with a private beta. There is no information on when the rest of us can prove to these services.
