    Office Live is a load of hooey. The only thing it does well is transfer online documents into Microsoft Word (duh...)

    Google Docs limited me, when uploading pre-made Word and Excel files. 500K was the max. Microsoft Office Live has allowed much larger files so far.

    Works much better with Office 2007 .***x files than Google Docs, but runs slower than Google Docs, and collaboration features are inferior.

    Not free. Go ahead and follow the links provided and prove me wrong. I dare you. Whoever listed this program alternative either needs to update it or else they are probably microsoft promoters.
