Speaking of improvements, Excel Online is getting the ability to insert new comments, editing and deleting of existing comments and also improved support for files containing VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Also, it now has the “Tell Me” functionality. Commenting has been included to the editing mode in Word Online, as well, and footnotes and endnotes functionality has been improved. PowerPoint Online has been updated to make its slide layout look more like the final result after editing.

Office Online is now really easy to access by Chrome OS users and this release comes shortly after the new Office 365 Personal subscription plan has been made available. Microsoft’s move is actually a bit surprising, as half an year ago, part of the Scroogled campaign, Microsoft said that Chromebooks weren’t even real laptops. And now, Microsoft Office is available in the Chrome Web Store. Most likely, this move shows that free alternatives like Google Docs especially, but also LibreOffice, are becoming more popular.
