Microsoft has announced new additions to its software and services strategy, including Microsoft Office Live Workspace, a new web-based feature of Microsoft Office that lets people access their documents online and share their work with others.
The new strategy departs from the company's current model of selling licences for software that runs locally on computers, and takes it a little closer to competitor Google which offers online versions of its productivity applications suite Docs, which includes spreadsheet, word processor and presentation software.
Meanwhile, another competitor, Adobe, has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Virtual Ubiquity and its online word processor, Buzzword.
The announcements by Adobe and Microsoft signal the online office productivity market is heating up. IBM announced last month its Lotus Symphony productivity software, which boasted 100,000 downloads in its first week of availability. The software is based on open-source office productivity software from OpenOffice.org, and is available as software running on the desktop only.
