Microsoft has recently announced its public beta of office live workspace, which is previously available through invitaion only but from now, anyone can sign up for this live workspace. It is somewhat like google docs, but the difference between them is that live workspace has direct integration with the current market leader, Microsoft Office because both are from the same company. In order to integrate both, you have to install an add-on in MS Office.
Features:
- After saving, you can access your workspace from:
1. The local PC from where you have saved the document.
2. Anywhere in the world through your live account even if the Office is not installed there!
- It also has an excellent sharing feature by which you can share your entire workspace with others and all you need is an email address of the person with whom you wanna share your docs with.
- It is backward compatible and can work seamlessly with its predecessors like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. You can open, Edit and save MS Office 2003, 2007 and XP docs directly in live workspace, Synchronize tasks and events with outlook 2003 and 2007 and can export list and sheets as an excel spreadsheet.
With so many exciting features, this service from M$ is surprisingly free and hence left no excuses for you to not use this brilliant application.
