So after some months time we can already see that features are coming to the cloud versions before the on prem version. An update to OWA in Exchange Online now integrates the Office Web Apps into the attachment previewing experience for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files! Along with continued PDF support, this means Exchange Online users get high-fidelity previews of Office documents on the web, in exactly the same format they were created.
