I'm surprised that there isn't many replies to this post, as many businesses are moving to O365 and looking to save costs by only applying E1 or F1 licenses. We have a workforce of differing skillsets and they just want to be able to open a document in a simple manner at the end of the day.

Shouldn't be hard to create an app to update shell integration and update default app behavior for office docs when office isn't installed etc. that could accomplish this. Good Idea probably for a dev to make some money on.

As a user, when I don’t have a office subscription, and someone sends me a word docx, I want windows to open it in a browser for me.
