期待的Microsoft Office Live 终于在今晚亮相了,与原先透漏的消息差不多,有免费和收费的2种(3种内容),在β 阶段均不收费,正式版后每月30美金不到,还是相当贵哦(人民币不值钱啊).
而功能方面个人觉得免费的对普通大众来说已经足够了(别说你不是普通人),毕竟是免费的东西,对人家要求不能太高.再说大家应该对MS 有所了解,说不定正式版时还会对功能做个加减什么地,所以还是用了再说.
不过可惜的是自己注册的到今天还是没有收到任何通知邮件,而登陆注册时需要25位的key,没有就是不行.诶,又只好耐心等待!或者到处乞讨咯!
访问:官方Official web site 目前三种模式的介绍DEMO:
访问:1.Basics, 访问:2.Collaboration, 访问:3.Essentials. 微软营业部总裁Jeff Raikes发表声明称：“在今天，互联网是取得商业成功的关键所在，没有登上互联网的企业将在很大程度上面临被淘汰的危险。有了Office Live，我们就可以通过网络为小型商业客户提供大型企业般的IT架构，同时无需复杂的管理。我们的目标是为小型商业客户提供廉价、简捷、自主的互联网解决方案。”
Office Live的服务分为三种形式，其中基本服务Basics会在测试结束后继续免费，而高级服务Essentials和Collaboration则会在正式运作开始后每月收取29.95美元的费用。具体服务项目如下：
Office Live Basics：免费为小型企业提供在线策略的核心业务(支持广告)，包括公司域名、五个各自2GB空间的E-mail帐户、30MB文件存储空间的网站、方便易用的网站设计工具、监视分析网站流量的网站报告工具等。

最后是官方帮助上的一些内容:
At this time, Microsoft is offering a beta version of its Office Live services only to test group of small business owners and managers in the United States. At the end of the beta period (late 2006), these services will become available to all U.S. small-business customers. Also in late 2006, we will initiate additional beta programs in select markets outside the United States.
At Microsoft, a beta is an application or service that is being tested in real-world environments by regular users. During the beta phase, we ask small business owners and managers to sign up and experience the different features of prerelease versions of Microsoft Office Live Basics, Office Live Collaboration, and Office Live Essentials. We use participant feedback to help ensure that our service is the best possible when we make it publicly available.
During the beta period, Office Live is available only in English and only in the United States. Starting in late 2006, we will offer Microsoft Office Live services in a limited number of countries.
