    LOL
    Wonder what they're up to, probably for their web-based office, but they declined to say how they plan to use it, i hope it's somewhat decent -_-

    That's what I'm thinking too. We will know it soon I'm sure.

    Interesting.. I hope they do use it well (not that I have much faith in MS), but I still think Office online isn't going to be as good as Google Docs (not that I use that either)..

    I doubt it will be free; I don't think Microsoft will ever dare to do such a thing, I think it'll just be cheap, and not sure what exactly they would charge for >.<

    I doubt Office will be free. The Windows and Microsoft Office are their money spinners. They won't cannibalized their most lucrative products. A watered down version online maybe.

    I doubt MS will make it free, they never make anything free. And I also doubt it will be as good as Google
