Microsoft has recently unveiled its new  Internet-based service called Office Live. It mainly consists of two services: Office Live Small Business and Office Live Workspace.  Let’s explore these two services and find out what they have got to offer.

Office Live Small Business

This Internet-based service is especially designed to help small business to create Web sites for their activities.  The whole package comes for free and its main features consist of:
