Its the cash cow for Microsoft. Though famous (or rather infamous) for its Windows OS, Microsoft's real revenue earner is also its Office Productivity Suite. With a number of firms such as Zoho and Google providing completely online alternatives for office productivity applications, Microsoft has had to come out with its own offering, Live Workspace.
The belief is Software-as-a-service. And Microsoft seeks to complement the same with its online productivity program. Users with Windows Live ID will now be able to collaborate and access word, powerpoint, excel, spreadsheets and PDF documents over the Web.
Guiding Microsoft in its transition to a Web oriented firm is Microsoft STO, Ray Ozzie, who is also to succeed Bill Gates.
It will be worth watching how the various changes span out at the firm that has been infamous for locking users into its own platform. Will the Web be an opening facet to Microsoft?
