The Office Web Apps Team has begun passively inviting many people to the Technical Preview of Office Web Apps through Sky Drive and Windows Live.
I encourage people to sign up to get notifications for Office 2010 and Office Web Apps through Office the Movie. The details below are slowly being rolled out to select audiences and those invited through the office beta so you might or might not see the option to sign up.
