The company is also not allowing people to edit their documents online, but executives stressed over and over that Microsoft is committed to being the leader in productivity software and that includes online editing. On the Office Live Workspace front, Microsoft will initially offer the product with no advertising, though Microsoft executives said that it has been designed so that ads can be shown in the future. Partners will still be able to offer their own hosted service if they choose, or resell Microsoft's hosted service.
By limiting the software hosting to the largest customers, it hopes to give partners that already offer hosted services some time to find a new niche and allow Microsoft to test itself with a smaller number of customers, before broadly offering the service directly. Microsoft is moving cautiously with both efforts.
Microsoft Online Services, as that project is known, is born of a two-year-old effort in which companies such as Energizer Holdings and XL Capital essentially outsourced their desktop computing efforts to Microsoft. Initially, the offer is aimed at large businesses that plan to use the software for more than 5,000 people. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and other executives had previously said that such a service was coming. To start with, Microsoft is launching hosted versions of its Exchange e-mail and calendar program, its SharePoint portal software and Office Communications Server, its product for handling corporate instant messaging and telephony. In some cases, though, Microsoft is also offering its traditional server software entirely as a hosted service.

In addition to Google's effort, which as of earlier this month also includes presentation software, IBM announced its free Lotus Symphony productivity software, which prompted 100,000 downloads in its first week of availability.Īdobe, meanwhile, on Monday is expected to announce it has acquired Virtual Ubiquity, a start-up that has built a Web-based word processor, called Buzzword, using Adobe's Flash and AIR technologies. Still, the effort is a recognition that competition is heating up in the productivity arena, an area that large rivals had basically ceded to Microsoft a few years ago. (Its existing Office Live efforts will be rebranded as Office Live Small Business.) It's not quite ready-starting Monday customers will be able to put in their name to be part of a beta testing program expected to begin later this year. The software maker is announcing Office Live Workspace, a free online tool for viewing, sharing and storing-but not editing-Office documents online. SEATTLE-In another clear sign that Microsoft sees the threat posed by its traditional business moving online, the company is readying a rival to Google's Documents and Spreadsheets.
