San Francisco (InfoWorld) - Is it Microsoft Office in the browser at last? Ever since Microsoft launched Windows Live, Microsoft watchers have been speculating on when browser-based versions of Office applications would arrive, and what they’d look like.

That’s why last week’s announcement of an unprecedented, browser-based “test drive” of the latest beta version of Office 2007 was greeted with some excitement. Without having to download beta software, users can experience the next version of Office online through Internet Explorer. Was this the coming-out party for Microsoft’s Live strategy, which so far has offered little more than user-customizable home pages and Web hosting?
