Given that Office Web Apps are also 100% Javascript (notwithstanding the optional use of Silverlight), there is a good chance that Microsoft will face the same issues as Google during roundtripping across the desktop and browser (since they need to convert the Office format to HTML too - "half assed" or otherwise! It will definitely be interesting to see if they have handled this more elegantly than the likes of Google...but given Microsoft's track record with web apps, probably better not to get your hopes up too high at this point!

Paul Thurrott seems to be enthusiastic about Office Web Apps. I tend to believe him. And he's pretty much the only one with hands-on experience, too.
