- nailer 14y agoThe title is misleading. This isn't a cloud app. The current Office 365 Preview is a desktop app with cloud syncing, that requires WIndows 7 or 8. Reference: http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en/office-365-enterprise http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en/office-365-enterp... * No iPad / Android tablet * No access where you want without a lengthy installation * No live collaboration. It's just the same old office with Cloud lip service via a dropbox like service. Not sure why Wired thinks that's 'serious about the cloud'. MS should just buy Zoho already.
- bonaldi 14y agoOffice 365 runs in a browser. I'm not sure why they're not highlighting that on the page you link, but I assume it's because they're also punting OFfice on Demand (citrix-style streaming)
- nailer 14y agoYes, but it requires Windows 7 or 8 ,defeating the purpose. Just like the current Office 365.
