We all believed it was only a matter of time before Microsoft joined the online (and free) office bandwagon. The question is how good is their version?
As the image above states, the version of Office Live is limited in scope and capability. You can only use 3 of the MS Office tools, and they will have limitations.
The initial look and feel of the site is similar to Googles online Office. It has a bit more asthetics, but is essentially the same layout.
You can create workspaces that can be shared and viewed by others as well as upload existing files for sharing.
The "Word" portion is what I believe to be called "Note." It has version control and looks like a watered down version of MS Word. The "List" document is essesntially a smaller version of excel. It starts out with one cell and more can be added.
So far, that is all I have had the time to play with. I will post more as I get to it. So far, so good. It is a bit slower than Googles, but it has some more functionality too (Task list, calendar events, etc.)
Also, just FYI, the site doesn't work with Chrome from Google.
