Windows 10s new free Office app: Microsoft Store PWA now open to all

▤ Summary

Because it is a PWA, it works offline and can also be pinned to the taskbar, just like a native Windows app. If documents in OneDrive are synced locally, users can still open the file from the offline Office app. Gustafson said the next version of Edge, which will be Chromium-based, will allow users to install PWAs directly from the browser, bringing it in line with Chrome and Firefox. Chrome 70 opens up progressive web apps to Windows 10 users who dont want to use Edge or Microsoft Store. Microsoft has announced that the next major update to Windows 10 in Spring will add Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) to the store.
