Office Live Workspaces is a Microsoft Office Live-branded online storage and collaboration service for Microsoft Office 2007 documents. The documents will be stored on remote servers and will be made available to those who have access to the documents. The service will also feature shared calendars and task lists.[1]

Microsoft Office 2007 applications like Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint can directly access, edit and store files onto a remote access. Outlook will also synchronize Calendars, Tasks and Contacts with their Office Live Workspaces counterpart.[2]

The service will also have a web-based front-end, for managing the workspace and files in them from within a browser. The browser-based interface will be able to render the Microsoft Office files and PDF files in the browser itself as well as browse and edit lists and calendar items.[2]

The beta testing phase is planned for December, 2007[2]; currently applications for beta testing is being accepted.[1] An application requires a Windows Live ID account.
