No doubt to counter the growing interest in Google Docs, Microsoft this month released the beta version of its own free online suite of office programmes. Marketed under the title of Office Web Apps are free online versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. In addition users can claim 25 GB of free online storage to store their documents on Microsoft’s SkyDrive service. To take up the offer you first have to sign up with Windows Live online and then you can begin to generate new documents.
