It would be nice to actually EDIT something from within a save file in Sky Drive.

To me, that kinda defeats the purpose of even having this up if I can't edit something someone has put up on sky drive.

I still have to download and save and put it back up. That's fine when I'm on a computer with Office; however if I'm not, again defeats the purpose.

You should just get rid of links to features that you don't have.

Anybody can start using MS Office Web Apps, right now! Web-based MS Office, and it's FREE! To activate MS Office Web Apps just download Office 2010 Beta, and save a file to SkyDrive.

For full details follow the link in my last comment at the end of this page:-

I love it. Very cool stuff, like seeing MS PowerPoint presentations complete with animations in a web browser, and using Excel on a mobile.

Is it possible to have some short cut from IE to open any Office file link in internet in the Office web app? It could be right click from IE and Open with Office web app or add-on or what ever that offer this functionality. Currently I need to open file from net, upload it to Skydrive, then open it. And that come to the second request. Most of the file in the net still in Office 2003 format.

The other requst is could it be possible to open the Office 2003 file and editable rightaway. Then the office web app might mandate to save as OfficeX (2007) file format. The current process is quite a mess. First is Warning. Then user need to manually figure it out that need to Copy the old file to a new one. Then Open it, then Edit. Could the whole process more streamline. First Waring. the automatic create a new one and Edit screen. Then after user Save file, offer an option to delete the Old file format.

Anyway, the Office Web App is rock. SO COOL. If the speed to open file or edit a little faster than this (I use excel mostly.) I would be so appreciate.

Karl, there's a Give Feedback link in the File menu in all the apps. We look at all of them.

"Please don't display apps that are not available yet, e.g., OneNote, or gray them out so that we don't waste our time trying to do something that is impossible."

Better yet, make OneNote available. Pretty please. :)
