Register for Microsoft Office Live Workspace

Microsoft Office Live Workspace is another spin off using the Office Live brand name, with the ‘original’ Office Live service, which offers the hosted service to allow company to create a professional online presence without worry about domain names, web hosting, web design, email accounts, site promotion, and tools to manage customers and projects, has been re-branded as Office Live Small Business. Windows Live Workspace meanwhile is dubbed as online extension of Microsoft Office suites and products. The main difference between OL Small Biz and OLW is the prior for small businesses to take their business online while the later for all Office users to share their home, office or school works online.

Office Live Workspace is essentially a free online file sharing and hosting service that focus on Microsoft Office files – Word documents, Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, and of course, pictures, images, graphics and some other popular formats such as Acrobat .PDF files. Users can save, access, and share documents and files uploaded into the workspace by just using the web browser (probably only Internet Explorer).

Office Live website has a list of examples explaining the possible use of Office Live Workspace in your daily life. Microsoft says Office Live Workspace can store 1000+ documents and files, depending on files size. Take an conservative yet generous file size estimate of 250KB each which is properly enough for Office documents with few pages length and few attached pictures, Office Live Workspace likely offers 250MB in free online storage space.

Office Live Workspace hasn’t been launched. It will be released in beta stage initially, and users who intends to sign up as the pioneer users need to pre-register for an invite. Pre-registration for invite can be done here (Windows Live ID required). The invitation to use Office Live Workspace will be sent once Workspace is ready in the next few weeks for pre-registrants from US, according to Workspace Team Blog.
