You can read my earlier review for Office Live Workspace other features and functionality.

Meanwhile, i manage to sign up Office live workspace beta and play around the features. However, i feel this Office live workspace just act as web based word processor only. Their functionality still far away to compete with Google Docs and Zoho Office which mostly of their competitor already provides more functionality beside off office productivity tools functionality.
