Microsoft Office Live

"Microsoft Office Live" is a Microsoft service that allows users to save Office documents online so that they may be accessed by other users over the Internet.

A promotional campaign scheduled Tuesday (March 4, 2008) featuring actor Jeremy Piven and scripts of HBO's "Entourage" will introduce "Office Live Workspace." This new Microsoft service enables users to save more than 1,000 Microsoft Office documents to one place over the web. It allows users or collaborators to access shared/uploaded documents and make modifications.

Google, Zoho, and other Internet companies have been offering similar services already. The difference with Microsoft's Office Live is it simply makes it easier for users to use their previously purchased Office applications over the Internet. Signing up for the Microsoft Office Live service is for free.

Microsoft also announced that it would offer its online business services to companies of all sizes. In the past, those services were limited to firms with at least 5,000 users.
