Bringing Office to the web we can only hope that Microsoft remembers this.

Same could be said for Apple and Google - you cant use a WM smartphone with mobile me, and Google's android cant be used online without a gmail address. MS will most likely allow access to Office online from Macs as well as PC's but I dont see why they should open it up to rival smartphone platforms - makes sense to use the model that has proved successful for apple and Google and create a Microsoft ecosystem that can be fully exploited by their mobile OS.
