Office Web Apps enhanced to support embedding
Today over on the Microsoft Office Blog (Office Web Apps reach 20 million: New features today + 7 more countries) a number of new features were announced.  Among the coolest are the new ability to embed PowerPoint and Excel files right into blog posts.
 
I would show you an example here, except that unfortunately, I can not.  The reason is that the embed technique relies on IFRAME tag, which the SharePoint blog post logic strips out of the blog post body for safety reasons.  This behavior has been in SharePoint since 2007 and continues in 2010.  So, what that basically means is that within SharePoint if you want to leverage the new PowerPoint and Excel embedding feature the only way you can do it is on web part pages by using a Content Editor Web Part.
 
Aw shucks.
