After going through nearly three months of private beta testing, the "Microsoft Office Live Workspace" beta is finally being made available to the public worldwide.
"Microsoft Office Live Workspace" is the Web-based version of Office and (needless to say) intended to rival 'Google Docs'. Microsoft claims the application will allow users to save more than 1,000 Office documents online, as well as access and share them with others via the Web.
"Office Live Workspace" includes new features; such as an activity panel that shows all the activity in a workspace at one glance; email notifications about changes made to workspaces or documents; direct links for book-marking workspaces or workspace items via a unique URL in a browser window; and multi-file upload for uploading several files simultaneously by simply dragging and dropping from the desktop.
"Office Live Workspace" also represents a collaboration component of the Microsoft Live@edu initiative. In addition to "Office Live Workspace", the Live@edu program offers students and alumni 5GB email inboxes, 5GB password-protected online storage space, shared calendars, blogging tools, and access to these free services on mobile phones.
The "Office Live Workspace" beta is now available worldwide in English. Those interested can sign up for free at http://workspace.officelive.com. Microsoft plans to offer the beta program in various languages later this year. Meanwhile, the final public version of "Office Live Workspace" is scheduled for later this year.

LoL ... this is the biggest joke of 2008. Office Live without editing...
Like Vista (in)capable.
Listen up M$, we move a long time ago to Open Office and Google Document. If you want to regain our trust back, you need to come with something better, something innovative.
