I created a document using the online version of Word and I must say the
interface looks quite gorgeous and remarkably similar to the ribbon
interface for the offline version of Word. It also worked remarkably
similar to the offline version of Word except that some of the fancier
features were missing. For example I couldn't resize photos by
dragging. You can however easily overcome these limitations by clicking
a button and then editing your document in the local version of Office
that's installed on your own PC.

Uploading docs requires SkyDrive - 25Gb of free storage, I believe.
