Exchange 2007 Outlook Web Access includes a functionality called WebReady document viewing that functions much the same as the HTML Preview functionality in Citrix’s Advanced Access Control. Currently 2003 versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, as well as PDF document types are supported, but this this able to be customized/extended for additional document types as well. I realize that AAC provides greater control over the documents than this feature within Exchange, however it’s still a great feature to include out of the box in Exchange 2007.
