Microsoft may offer web programs

I know in many of my presentations i have talked of google office and also the link between sun microsystems  ( who are behind  openoffice) as open source offline suite of basic tools.

Its seems Microsoft have been listening and is planning a free web based version of its word processing and spreadsheet programme

interesting is this paragraph from the BBC site

No date has been set for when the free programs will show up on the net but the software giant told the Reuters news agency that it was "considering" new distribution and payment models for its software.
