Microsoft launches Office in the cloud

BBC News - Microsoft launches Office in the cloud:

"Microsoft is launching a cloud-based version of its Office software suite.

Called Office 365 the service puts the familiar e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet and collaboration programs on the web.

Microsoft said the programs will be accessible via desktops, laptops and tablets plus Microsoft, RIM, Apple and Android smartphones.

The launch is aimed squarely at Google and others who already offer web-based business software."

Well BBC is a bit late on the story, but the Cloud version of Office is here.
