Wow, it's been a busy week for both Office Live Small Business and Office Live Workspace, with lots of new enhancements to announce. We've already gotten a lot of feedback; we're reading all of it, so please keep it coming!
Multiple posts have gone up about the recent changes, so I thought it would be helpful to summarize everything in one handy post. So here goes:
-
New look, new workspace. Your account is sporting a bit of a makeover, with basic navigation moved up to the header area. Part of that makeover gives you quick access to your own Office Live Workspace Beta, a free service that allows you to easily store and share documents online — very handy when sharing documents between employees, customers or vendors.

-
More design options. You've asked for more flexibility when it comes to designing your site and now you've got it. We've introduced custom color options, more layouts to choose from, easy drag action zone resizing and custom background options. Plus, now you can also add a new PayPal module that makes selling a small number of products very simple to implement. (Read the details.)
-
5GB storage, folders, and more. The Office Live Workspace service has been revved up with 5GB of storage, so you can store lots more Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, photos — just about any file format you choose. Plus, you can now keep these files better organized with the new Folders feature, and easily move files with the cut/copy/paste options. (Read the details.)
-
New Community sites. A great new layout for our blogs, new Wikis, question-and-answer sections, videos, and a whole lot more — we've put a lot of work into making the new Office Live Small Business Community and the Office Live Workspace Community great resources to help you do more with these services. (Read the details here and here.)
So now that you've had a few days to play around with these enhancements, what do you think? Please feel free to leave a comment and let us know.
