Run OpenOffice.org in a web browser, no installation necessary
Now there's a way to run a OpenOffice.org inside your web browser. No need to download and install anything (except for Java).

The goal is to integrate OpenOffice.org with Ulteo's online desktop, which is currently only available to registered beta testers. Users will get 1GB of free online storage space and the ability to create and edit files from any computer with a web browser.
Ulteo also has a pretty decent pedigree. The company's chairman is Gael Duval, founder of Mandriva Linux.
