Office.com: The Future Home of Microsoft Office 2010 Online

2009-08-06T19:16:50Z

The news of Microsoft Office 2010 confirmed what many suspected: Microsoft will be offering a free online version of Office to compete with all of the SaaS suites out there. Thanks to some WHOIS sleuthing by istartedsomething, we now also know where it will reside. Office.com is likely to be the home of the SaaS Microsoft Office.

]]> The Web-based beta of Office 2010 isn't out yet, but those who are dissatisfied with Google Docs and Zoho should keep a close eye on Office.com. The site is currently in transition, but the WHOIS record clearly shows that someone in Redmond has taken the time to register the domain:

Registrant: Domain Administrator
Microsoft Corporation
One Microsoft Way
Redmond WA 98052
US
domains@microsoft.com +1.4258828080 Fax: +1.4259367329
Domain Name: office.com

The previous owners were Belgian startup ContactOffice, and there's no news on how much the domain was purchased for.

I bet that domain went for a pretty high price. Even if MS didn't buy it the name has to have been worth a lot. I wonder how dumbed down the online version will be. http://aveakontoral.com

I've been using Open Office (openoffice.org)for over a year and love it. It's free and does everything that I would have used Office for. You can even save docs as MS Office files. http://nokiaceptelefonu.net

Exciting news, guess all software will be webware soon. Positive side: cheaper hardware...?
