   I’ve dreamed of the day I could pay a monthly subscription to be able to use Office!

   Who wants to be it will STILL be incompatible with Linux and old versions of Windows? ;-)

   Hosted != web-based. Just cause it’s hosted somewhere else doesn’t mean you’ll be able to run it in any browser, or a browser at all.

   Oh, just another kneejerk flame to anything MS does. Yes, MS Office use propretary format. But in all fairness, MS Office is the best in it’s class. Windows definately suck and is there only because of MS monopoly. But Office is actually a good product and would sell like hotcakes even if it wasn’t associated with MS.

   You are completely misinterpreting the story. There will be a hosted VERSION of MS Office, yes. It doesn’t mean it will be the ONLY version. There has been a hosted version of most of them for years. Look for the “online trial” of Visual Studio for example.
