Office Live Workspace to Go Gold by Year End

Office Live Workspace to Go Gold by Year End

Techtree News Staff, Sep 04, 2008 1620 hrs IST

Microsoft's answer to Google Docs is set to come out beta and go gold by end of this year.

Office Live Workspace, Microsoft's answer to Google Docs has managed to get 1 million users within six months of its launch. On this occasion, ZDNet reports that the company is now planning to take the product out of beta and go gold by the end of this year.

Office Live Workspace is an addition to Office that allows users to access, share and save more than 1,000 Office documents online via Internet. It can be used from a PC, kiosk or other Web-access point with or without Office installed.

In the six month beta phase, users have surprised the company with the ways Office Live Workspace can be used. It was expected that students would use this service mainly to gain remote access their Office documents, but instead they are using it more for collaborative/ team access to a single document.

Originally launched worldwide in English, Office Live Workspace beta is now available in Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Spanish and Traditional Chinese, bringing the total number of languages supported to 11.
