Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are HTML5-based applications with a desktop-like look&feel which run inside a web browser. The Microsoft Office applications Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote accessible via outlook.com (as Office 365) are well-known examples. RIAs make you think you were using a desktop application. As they are delivered by way of a web browser, they also run on mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones.
