What a great idea!
Check out the demo – very impressive, and it even works in Safari! It’s so simple as well – it works by copying a small snippet of xml, and then interpreting it correctly when you paste it back in. This means it’ll work across browsers – copy in IE then paste in Firefox, for example – and across web sites without any problem at all. You could even extend it and bridge between a normal desktop app and a web app – copy a table from word, then paste in your blog backend, for example.
Whether it’ll take off or not we shall see (I think it will – it’s too simple not to), but the functionality this kind of technology enables is immense. And coming out of Microsoft as well…
