Microsoft rolls out free Office Web Apps to 15 additional countries

Microsoft began previewing Office Web Apps (OWA) back in September of 2009, and today the Office team has announced expanded availability of the free-to-use OWA. Originally available in just 11 countries, the total number has been more than doubled and is now open to users in China, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan.

All you need is a Windows Live account, and it's well worth signing up for one if you haven't already. Office Web Apps are fully compatible with their desktop counterparts, and while they're somewhat feature-limited you can use them in good conscience without having to pay a single cent.

Google Chrome browser SHORT review

Surfing the web by using GBrowser...
Fast, indeed. Uses Webkit, so webpages are displayed correctly... More or less.
Used memory is very low. That could be a great advantage on not very fast machines.
It is a BETA: it is not possible to manage bookmarks... No plug-ins. No extensions.
I think Google released this browser with the aim of provide a fast browser for netbooks and implement some optimization (and integration) with Google Apps (Google Gears).
It cannot replace Mozilla Firefox, now.

Official Google Blog: Google Chrome now live

Google Chrome

... Unexpected news from big G ...
Google Chrome will be released as Beta version within few hours from now.
Some features I caught on the net seem to be:

• optimized "Task - Process" management
• optimized JavaScript engine
• uses WebKit (as Safari and the Android Browser)
• designed from scratch, based on nowadays needs
• optimized Garbage collector
• (?) maybe based on VMs

Here you can read a clear and easily readable document, explaining why Google is releasing that browser.

Firefox alphas...

A new Mozilla Firefox Alpha version is out: you can read relase notes here.
It contains a little taste of the future Gecko rendering engine: an improved web standards compliancy.
W3C is a consortium developing and publishing web specifications, guidelines, software (etc.) to improve Web fruition in the most efficient way.
The W3C's core business is to standardize and make software, websites, protocols, browsers interoperable.


To check your browser W3C compliancy, let it take these 3 test:

• Acid Test I
• Acid Test II
• Acid Test III

I hope HTML5 will solve issues and remove the old HTML retrocompatibility burden.
