MS To Launch Internet Versions of Office And Windows

daria42 writes "In a press conference this morning, Bill Gates said Microsoft plans to launch Internet-based complements to its core products, dubbed 'Windows Live' and 'Office Live'. Windows Live is a set of Internet-based personal services, such as e-mail, blogging and instant messaging. It will be primarily supported by advertising and be separate from the operating system itself. Office Live will come in both ad-based and subscription versions that augment MS' Office suite. The programs won't replace the paid software but instead seem aimed at diminishing Google's ad revenue. Windows Live already appears to have 'gone live' in a preview format on the web."

Okay, now I'm really confused. Is Bush the Fuhrer, or are the liberals??! :)

Microsoft has just released their much anticipated hands-free cordless mouse. Warning, it may hurt a little at first.

Windows Live remembers me of www.netvibes.com (or any other "customized homepage" system).
