VKontakte, the most popular social network in Russia, has teamed up with Microsoft to integrate Office 365 services on its website. According to a report from RBC.ru (via MSPU), the new partnership will allow Vkontakte users to open all types of Office documents uploaded on the social network without having to leave the website. On mobile devices, Office files will be opened in the Office apps, if they’re already installed.

For now, users won’t be able to edit Office documents stored on the website, though VKontakte representative Evgeny Krasnikov explained that this will be enabled in the future. The company currently claims 90 million monthly active users, with 77% of them on mobile devices. VKontakte also has an app for Windows 10 PCs and phones, which you can get from the download link below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
