My name is Skip Chilcott and I started working on Office Live Workspace a few months ago. I’m really excited about the progress we’ve made this year–we’ve reached more than three million subscribers and we’re growing fast!
Part of having so many customers is getting a lot of feedback, which is great. And now, thanks to all that feedback, we’ve just made some improvements to the service that I am really pleased to share with you:
· Folders –To simplify organization, now you can use folders to manage files within workspaces. We know many of you were creating new workspaces whenever you needed to group related documents, so we’re really happy about this feature.
· Cut/Copy/Paste–Want to copy a document or file to another workspace? We’ve replaced the File/Move feature with Cut/Copy/Paste to make it even easier to manage your files.
· More storage–We are increasing your storage capacity to 5GB. You keep telling us you need more so… ask no more!
· Eight new languages – We are expanding to Eastern Europe with the addition of Hungarian, Romanian, Lithuanian, Serbian Latin, Ukrainian, Slovak, Latvian, and Slovenian. That brings our total to 28 languages in 52 countries! Be sure to tell your friends, family, and colleagues around the globe to check out Office Live Workspace.
The new Folders and Cut/Copy/Paste features are available right now for you to try out. And, we’ll be rolling out the increased storage capacity to all customers over the course of the next several days.
