The Mobile Office MS Style: Office Live Launched
For being one who likes to go mobile, the idea of being able to use the browser to work from for some office related tasks seems like a great idea. Not only am I leveraging the wireless and nearly anywhere connectivity of the Internet, I am also doing it without having to install loads of software on my laptop, thereby making my laptop run more efficiently.
That's one reason that I like that Microsoft has thrown it's hat into the virtual (Internet-connected) office with its Office Live product. And with today's release, there is a chance that for some of you who might be in the market for an office solution that is MS Office, but not quite happy about licensing fees and support costs, Office Live could prove to be a cost effective means in keeping one mobile.
Office Live comes in three "flavors:"
- Basics
- Essentials
- Premium
Granted, if you are one who will spring for the Premium, you are probably looking down the wrong tree at this point in time (networks need more attention with the higher level services) unless you have a clear mobile/virtual office stragety. But it is a nice package nonetheless and one to look at if you are at the point of looking for office software updates for your office, and CDs and licensing has been a past issue.
The Gadget Pastor has also recently done a post on using Windows Live Writer (which carries some elements found in Office Live as I understand them). Check out his look thru and then investigate Office Live for yourself.
