Microsoft’s Office Live Workspace Available
Microsoft is playing catch up with Google Docs and Zoho in releasing a beta version of Office Live Workspace. It is available to anyone with Windows Live ID. The catch is that you cannot edit your documents online but Live Workspace will let you save Office documents directly to the web from the installed Microsoft Office appplications Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. You can also preview the document online.
So what is the point in this when we have Google Docs? Other than it is a good collaboration tool. If Google add Google Gears to their Google Docs app for offline editing, Microsoft will find it difficult to compete.
