Microsoft on Thursday launched an early technical preview program for Microsoft Office Web Apps — lightweight versions of its Office suite of applications. Participation is by invitation only, and the preview is initially available in English and Japanese. It will be available in additional languages later this fall. As it did with Windows 7, Microsoft is seeking to tap the wisdom of the crowd for its move into Web-based apps. The early technical preview is designed to collect additional feedback before a public beta, Microsoft said.
