I have heard about this not long ago but have to keep quiet until now. Office Web Application is basically web based Office applications hosted on the web. It is based on a S+S model powered by AJAX and Silverlight. It is available on Office Live (for consumers) and as volume license (for enterprises) In near future any devices (incl PC and phones) will be above to open (and EDIT) Office documents on the web! Best of all, Office Web Application will ship with Office 14!

There is a screencast here on Channel 9. And Joel Olson is blogging about it too.

Unless you are in PDC, this is the closest you can get to the next version of Windows called Windows 7. Good fellas at Microsoft uploaded this yesterday (or today, depends where is your time zone) to Flickr.

Three key innovations I love most

3. Peek technology – whenever you move your mouse to the lower left corner all windows will be ‘transpalented’ as shown above. Good while your boss walk into your room when you are ‘facebooking’. :)

Check out the rest of Windows 7 from blogs like engadget and osnews.
