Office Live Workspace

While visiting a few technology blogs I found an interesting article about Office Live Workspace. They recently hit the one million sign up mark. Office Live Workspace is an free extension of Microsoft Office. It is designed to allow people the share their work. Around 1,000 Microsoft Office documents can be stored using this service. It also allows users who do not have Office installed on their computers to view these documents. Live Workspace allows for files to be saved in Office XP, 2003, or 2007 format.

It's interesting to see the direction of where document sharing/file sharing is going. With Wiki's, Blogs, and other software designed to share documents, Microsoft decided to get into an area like this. I think its a great idea to have a resource of this at the disposal of E-Learning users as it allows for easier collaboration.
