Real time co-authoring scenarios are different for Office Web Apps:For Word and PowerPoint documents, use the Office 2010 client applications for co-authoring, and be sure that no one is editing the document at the same time in Word Web App or PowerPoint Web App.For Excel workbooks, use the Excel Web App for co-authoring and be sure that no one is editing the document at the same time in the Excel client. For OneNote notebooks, you can use either OneNote 2010 or OneNote Web App for co-authoring.

PowerPoint Web App Gets Better With Silverlight TooThere are some automatic benefits to having Silverlight installed when running the PowerPoint Web App. For example, animations smooth out a bit, and the slide will scale with the browser window size. However Silverlight is not required for rendering or animation.If you’d like to get the benefits mentioned above when using the Office Web Apps, install Silverlight. If you’d prefer not to install Silverlight the Office Web Apps will still work well in the browser you choose to use - allowing you to work anywhere, no matter what machine setup you happen to find.
