Hi

Thanks for the item, but I am actually wondering if this is news-worthy
even from our point of view.

What I understand is that they are just using their windows and office
tradenames putting them onto a different service, just live windows ce
is a lot different from windows for pcs.

>From reading around office live seems to be a small business hosting
site, whereas windows live seem to be like apple's .mac service.

It seems that a bit of competition from yahoo and google in the email
and other online services area seems to be scaring them.

I don't even think they will be offering an online word processor (like
Writely which will soon be supporting ODF).

Any opinions on this?
