Office Live now public
Thursday, April 6, 2006 by Island Dog | Discussion: Microsoft
Since we debuted our waitlist for the Microsoft Office Live Beta back in November 2005 we have had over 275,000 customers sign-up in our Beta waitlist, and we thank each and every one of them for signing up. But what we’ve heard over and over is: please don’t make me wait in a list; I want to try Office Live NOW!! So, good news to everyone who hasn’t already gotten a product key, your wait is over (maybe before it even started!)
We have dropped the requirement of a product key from our signup! The Beta is still only open to US residents for now, but ANY US resident with a valid credit card can sign up for the Beta and experience Office Live! All you need to do now is pick your product (Basics, Collaboration or Essentials) and pick your domain. So head over to www.OfficeLive.com now to get your Beta subscription started.

Not interested. Ultimately a bad idea for consumers. Instead of making a one-time payment & having something that is an asset with all the rights necessary to use it, now you'll have an ongoing subscirption cost with limited rights based on how much your willing to spend with access dependent on multiple outside "providers" (your ISP, their level 1 service(s), MS's servers, the telephone or cable companies)
During the hurricanes of 2004 we lost power, telephone, catv, etc. After Frances we got power back in 7 days and I was back in business. telephone took closer to 3 weeks and cable over a month.
