Microsoft saved the same Word file on Windows Live SkyDrive and Google Apps. You can also open both the documents live, in Word Web app or Google Docs.

People expect existing documents from their desktop to look exactly the same when they share them in the cloud. In this demo, you will see completely different results when viewing the same document using Word Web App and using Google Documents.

To see the differences, simply move your mouse cursor over the circles.

    Great blog post! It’s definitely interesting to see what Microsoft’s World Web App can do in comparison to Google Docs which is already so popular and widely used. Do you have any idea when this will actually be available to users?

    If no collaboration is needed, just save it as an image or PDF and everyone will see it the same, right?
    Did they do the reverse as well? Using an existing Google Doc file and then opening it in MS 365 and/or MS Word to check the integrity.
