There isn't much too it but it's probably good enough as an alternative document viewer for those Office files that OpenOffice.org won't open. It pushes some proprietary platform called Silverlight and a malware development platform called ActiveX but neither are required. The button for opening the online files locally seems to only work with certain legacy applications but a Greasemonkey script could fix that. Might be useful as a legacy document viewer when migrating users to a more modern OS.
