Office contributes quite a bit to MS’s bottom line. I wonder if the online version will have a fee with it....even nominal?
************************************EXCERPT********************************
Microsoft said that immediately after their release next year, Internet-hosted Office Web applications including Word, Excel and PowerPoint will be available "at no cost" to some 400 million of the company's Web services account holders.

So it's not exactly available for everyone....just those that already are in the Web Services account....whatever that is....
See updates.
