Microsoft just announced that Word, Excel, PowerPoint will now be web based. In what's Microsoft's answer to Google Docs their new Office Web Apps have just had a technical preview.
The menu of applications available in Office Web Apps mirrors the applications found in the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 suite: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. Although you won't find applications like Access or Outlook here.
It's only a pre-release version of the software and Microsoft is still testing, gathering feedback, but you can see screengrabs here http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeremiah_owyang/tags/webapps/
Is this a good time for Microsoft to launch a no-cost product to the market? Also as Jeremiah Owyang says "It’s not clear if the infamous “Clippy 2.0” will re-emerge –we hope not".Microsoft just announced that Word, Excel, PowerPoint will now be web based. In what's... more

Its about time! I don't even own a Mac and I have been bothered by this!
Article:
REDMOND, Wash. — Aug. 13, 2009 — Microsoft Corp.’s Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) today shared details about the next version of Microsoft Office for Mac, announcing that a new application, Outlook for Mac, will replace Entourage for Mac. MacBU is providing this early information to meet the planning needs of enterprise customers. For current Entourage users, Microsoft Entourage 2008 for Mac, Web Services Edition is available today, providing performance and reliability improvements and enabling users to sync Tasks, Notes and Categories. These updates demonstrate the team’s commitment to meet Mac users’ productivity needs and to improve the overall Office experience. MacBU also announced a simplified SKU lineup to help make product selection more intuitive for customers. The new lineup introduces Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Business Edition in addition to the current offering of Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition.
“It is an exciting time for the MacBU with updates to our current products and the first public announcement about the next version of Office for Mac. For several years we have focused on providing the best Microsoft Exchange client for the Mac, and the Web Services Edition delivers that today for Entourage users,” said Eric Wilfrid, general manager for the MacBU at Microsoft. “Outlook for Mac will bring features our customers have long requested — such as Information Rights Management — that make working across platforms even easier. I think people will see that this move to Outlook for Mac is more than just a name change.”
A New Outlook for Mac Users
The infrastructure changes in Entourage 2008, Web Services Edition, provide more agility in development for the future — marking the first step in delivering Outlook for Mac. Web Services Edition provides faster data synchronization so current Entourage users on Exchange will experience improved e-mail and calendaring support. The beta was launched earlier this year and has since been used by several large enterprise customers including NASA and Wesleyan University. Entourage 2008, Web Services Edition is available to current Entourage users on Office 2008 for Mac SP2, with all updates applied, on Exchange 2007 SP1 RU4 or later. More information can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/entourage-ews.mspx.
Outlook for Mac releasing in the next version reflects the team’s commitment to further develop the Mac’s leading productivity suite. This new application will deliver significant changes — ultimately allowing for increased productivity across platforms, which continues to be the top request of enterprise customers. The MacBU today shared a few of the features that will be in Outlook for Mac, including these:
•
Cocoa. Built from the ground up using Cocoa providing users with improved integration with the Mac OS
•
New database. A high-speed file-based database with support for backing up files with Time Machine and Spotlight searching
•
Information Rights Management. Helps prevent sensitive information from being distributed to or read by people who do not have permission to access the content
“Microsoft Outlook and Exchange Server have been a cornerstone of communications and collaboration for our enterprise customers,” said Takeshi Numoto, corporate vice president of the Office product management group at Microsoft. “Today’s release of the Web Services Edition strengthens Exchange connectivity for Entourage customers and sets the stage for the move to the new application — Outlook for Mac. These updates continue Microsoft and the MacBU’s tradition of delivering the most complete solution to help customers manage their time, and better share their information and collaborate with others.”

Rumours of Microsoft functionality on the iPhone have been a staple part of the internet rumourmongers for far too long, so I'm sure they'll all be pleased to know that there might actually be some truth coming from their speculation.
Jason Kincaid was blogging from the Web 2.0 Expo keynote, where Microsoft's Pres of Business Divison, Stephen Elop, reportedly let slip that we could all be hinted that we may about to see MS Office on the iPhone soon. Although after his keynote, he seemingly backtracked a bit saying “not yet, keep watching”.

I can't find much information on this topic perhaps current can fix that.
Microsoft announces that it will discontinue support for Windows Xp. Up until now Windows Xp has been one of the most stable operating systems Microsoft has ever put out.
Soon after the announcement they release Windows Xp service pack 3. Xp operating systems all over the world suddenly collapse and cause massive IT headaches. The solution? Remove the new Service pack.
Next problem windows releases critical MS update KB951748. Suddenly Xp operating systems all over the world experience crashes, some cannot access the internet with their web browsers and more.
It may be just another conspiracy theory but I find it hard to believe that the software giant can release these code packages and have such wide spread mayhem just happen out of the blue. I'm sure they run tests on the code before they release it to the public at large. They have to know what's going to happen when users install it on their systems.
I have a large family with 10 computers in the house. We experienced identical problems on all systems running XP. 6 computers experience the same problem in one house. Multiply that nationally, then internationally.
If it's a coincidence then someone at Microsoft should be fired. If it's intentional then some one at Microsoft should be prosecuted. It's strange that suddenly when a new OS is on the way, that the most stable OS the giant has produced in years suddenly suffers critical failures and massive melt downs, only after having installed new code packages from the company.
Just a p.s. follow up note. 4 of our computers run Vista. Vista is virtually identical to Xp except for one critical feature..... It won't run on older hardware.....and you have to purchase it for up to $300 US.... Coincidence? I can't find much information on this topic perhaps current can fix that.

Pierre Avignon is no pirate, but he does not believe in paying for software. His computer is filled with programs like Symphony -- a free suite that he downloaded from an International Business Machines Corp (IBM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) website http://symphony.lotus.com
It performs work for which he used to rely on Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Word word processor, Excel spreadsheet and PowerPoint presentation builder, all components of the Microsoft Office software suite.
"It is free. It is a great deal," says Avignon, a 43-year-old graphics designer from West Newbury, Massachusetts.Pierre Avignon is no pirate, but he does not believe in paying for software. His... more
