Google Launches Powerpoint Preview for Gmail

Although in testing for some time, it looks like Google has started to roll out its Powerpoint competitor through a “View as Slideshow” feature in Gmail. When you receive an email with a Powerpoint attached, you can view the slideshow in a new window - no need to download and open in Powerpoint itself.

This is similar to the options Gmail provides for opening Word and Excel files in Google Docs and Spreadsheets, and gives me a reason to never use Microsoft Office again

The file formats that can be previewed or edited directly from Gmail increased a lot in the last few months, so you can’t stop wondering if this is the base for an online hard drive that stores all your files and lets you edit them without having to install desktop clients.
