What is Windows Live?

Your online world gets better when everything works simply and effortlessly together. That's the basic idea behind Windows Live. So the things you care about - your friends, the latest information, your e-mails, powerful search, your PC files, everything – comes together in one place. This is a brand new Internet experience designed to put you in control. And this is just the beginning – you'll see many more new services in the coming months.

What is Office Live

Microsoft is introducing Microsoft® Office Live—a set of affordable business productivity services designed to help you grow your business more easily by establishing a professional presence online.

Microsoft Office Live will provide your company with its own domain name,Web site, and e-mail accounts for free.

Additionally, Microsoft Office Live will offer you and your employees expert business management applications, such as customer, project, and document management tools, and a security-enhanced private Web site—affordably managed and maintained by Microsoft—where you can work together and share information with your employees, customers, suppliers, and contractors.

Sounds interesting but can't have a further look as I haven't got a beta ID. Plus, I noticed that Office Live Beta is gonna be launched in 2006.

At www.live.com this was seen written

Firefox support is coming soon. Please be patient

To me it seems that it might work only on IE presently but they plan on delivering it soon to FF too. BTW using Opera I didn't have anything except a search box at live.com
