The app launches you into your own personal Windows desktop, with access to fully-featured versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, all running in the cloud. The basic version is free and includes two gigabytes of storage; the $4.99-per-month “Plus” plan adds priority access, a full desktop web browser, extra storage options and more.
