Office Web Apps used by 20 million, now embeddable via IFRAME, and more

Filed under: Utilities, Office, Microsoft

Despite our woeful lack of coverage for Office Web Apps, I'm glad to announce that Microsoft has been keeping its cloud-computing cogs churning: Office Web Apps has, in its first 100 days, been used by over 20 million people, and is now available in seven more countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Russia and Switzerland.

You can also now embed PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets on any website with the power of the IFRAME. This is what they look like:

A bunch of other changes have also been made to the Web apps themselves. You can now open Office files on your desktop directly from SkyDrive, and PowerPoint now has clip-art and more themes!

There's a video after the break (Silverlight powered, of course!) that shows off the new features.
