Google’s Gmail integrates Office Powerpoint viewer

Yet another reason to make the move to Gmail as your primary email service, Google quietly released the option to view attached Powerpoint slides using a Google Flash tool. Since making the move to Gmail and deciding to drop Microsoft Office, Google & Gmail have definitely helped make life without Office much easier – contacts / clients still prefer to send Office documents (there’s just no way around it).

Now that attached Powerpoint slides can be viewed from [select] Gmail accounts, when will we see Google Docs updated to support the file format?

    Now the only thing that’s missing is an online PPT editor

    Cool to see they are doing something about the missing functionality in their office applications. This feature is still not enabled on my Google Apps Premier account
