OK I know this is a bit of a strech here, this product was released last year but I think the new plug ins are what really make it powerful.

The Office Live Workspace Team has just introduced new features into the Office Live Workspace service – a free service which serves as sort of a “SharePoint-Light” repository for saving, sharing, commenting on, and organizing your files. In addition to the service’s expansion in Eastern Europe, they’ve also added in some useful features which make document management a bit easier. I have used this before but this is where it really hit home.

The best upgrade of them all is the storage capacity. With 5 GB of free storage, I can safely say that I’m able to archive my entire collection of personal documents to the cloud. Which really hit home this week. When I re-imaged my moms computer, she didn’t have a backup startegy for her docs. I simply installed the office live add-in to her office suite and Bam! she was rock and rollin’.

You can store almost any files on Office Live, not just Microsoft Office docs – the only blocked files are those that could act as executables (see exception list) – a decision made to protect users. I can’t wait for Office 14!

Have fun and for goodness sake, start a back up plan!
