Chrome OS to debut the support of Microsoft Office formats

The development team of Chrome OS reports interesting news regarding the usability of Chomebook. The latest release under development offered better support for popular document formats from Microsoft, and more particularly to Word and Excel, but in the future may also be involved Power Point.

The enhancements can benefit from the acquisition of QuickOffice, which was acquired last year by Goolge. The activation of the overwhelming support for the Microsoft formats must be activated by the user and the address bar simply select chrome:// flags and select Enable document editing.

The next goal seems to be to bring the same functionality in the beta version of Chrome OS, and in the near future on the stable. Chrome OS is behind the project ChromeBook. A notebook with very particular characteristics developed Google.

This is not a product that can currently boast a large spread in the market, and one of the major limitations of the product concerns the need to have a constant 3G connection. For storage and many other operations, you need access to tools in the cloud and just that, for the moment, has been a limiting factor. The market will find interesting Chromebook with quality hardware.
