Office Live Workspace is pretty similar with Google Docs & Spreadsheets, which recently received a presentation tool, allowing the customers to manipulate the documents and store them online. The only difference would be that the only consumers who will be able to access Office Live Workspace will be the ones who already installed a downloadable version of Microsoft Office on their computers.

"Office Live Workspace will provide anywhere-access to Office documents, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. In other words, these documents will go wherever people go when they’re away from their usual desktop. People will be able to work on documents from any Microsoft Office-equipped computer with an Internet connection – or review and comment on documents on devices that only offer Web access," Microsoft Business Division President Jeff Raikes said for the official website of the Redmond-headquartered company.

Just like the Google technology, Office Live Workspace will be focused on the collaboration functions which allow the consumers to view, share and work on documents from different computers connected to the Internet.

"People also will be able to collaborate on documents and share information with friends, colleagues or classmates simply by sending an e-mail and inviting them to a password-protected online workspace. This will help people avoid the pain of trying to find the latest version of a document, or having to pull together multiple versions of documents. They can also easily post files to their dedicated password-protected online workspace directly from the Office application in which they’re working."

It's a well-known fact that Microsoft's Windows operating system is one of the most affected technologies when it comes to software piracy. But the Redmond company doesn't seem to accept this idea and tries to do anything is possible to change it. On Tuesday, Cori Hartje, director of Microsoft’s Genuine Software Initiative, talked with the Microsoft PressPass folks about the counterfeited versions of Windows and about the importance of having a genuine version of the operating system.

"We know there are people out there who probably wonder why Microsoft spends so much time and effort ensuring consumers and businesses have access to fully licensed, genuine software," she started. "For starters, the economic effects of software piracy are staggering, and it’s a financial issue that plagues everyone from Fortune 500 companies to family-owned businesses."

But how does Microsoft plan to stop this? Besides? the famous WGA technology, the Redmond software company struggled to create a new platform, which is already implemented into Windows Vista, able to stop software pirates from distributing illegal copies of the operating system.
