Microsoft Releases Preview of Office App Sway to the Public

Microsoft’s office presentation app, Sway, has been released to the general public, in preview form. Sway Preview has been available since 1^st October as invite-only and, according to Microsoft’s release announcement blog, the app has already had hundreds of thousands of people requesting invites:

It’s been only 10 weeks since we kicked off Sway Preview, and we’ve already had over one million unique visitors to Sway.com and over 175,000 requests to join, and those numbers grow by thousands daily.

Sway is one of many steps that Microsoft is taking to make its office applications cloud-based. The app has no local files, instead presenting text and media as a website, the link for which can be shared with others. Sway can be accessed at sway.com by anyone with a Microsoft account.
