Microsoft launched the free version of Office Web Apps after nine months of allowing select users to test the Technical Preview. The service is initially available via Windows Live SkyDrive (integration with Hotmail is not yet ready) at office.live.com to users in the US, Canada, Great Britain, and Ireland, with support for English, Spanish (USA), and French (Canada) languages.

OWAs require Internet Explorer 7+, Chrome on Windows and Mac, Firefox 3.5+ on Windows,
