Microsoft has announced the public availability of its Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta which is the new Web-based extension of Microsoft Office that lets people access their documents online and share their work with others.
Office Live Workspace essentially lets you organise documents and projects online and then work on them from almost any computer.
People can save more than 1,000 Microsoft Office documents to one place online, and access and share them via the Web.
They can view and comment on documents in the browser as well as create simple Web lists and Web notes, and share documents in real time through integration with Microsoft SharedView.
Microsoft has also added several new features to Office Live Workspace, based in part on feedback from early beta participants........
- Activity panel: A new activity panel shows all the activity in a workspace at a glance.
- Notifications: People can now receive e-mail notifications about changes made to their workspaces or documents.
- Direct links: People can now bookmark their workspace or a workspace item via a unique URL in a browser window.
- Multi-file upload: People can now upload several files simultaneously by simply dragging and dropping from their desktop.
- Improved sharing: New sharing functionality includes an easier user interface and auto-completion of e-mail addresses.
Office Live Workspace is now available worldwide in English. People can sign up for free at http://workspace.officelive.com and will be granted immediate access to the service.
The company expects to release the final public version of Office Live Workspace later in the year.
