I am confused, because the big Office link from the main site goes to the same place. Either way it is clear that unlike say Google Docs, the online versions of the apps are viewed as more of extensions to the desktop 365 apps instead of a standalone product. In addition, if you use OneDrive (like Google Drive) creating an office document or viewing one goes straight to Office online and skips all these steps altogether.
