If you're curious about the differences between Google Docs and Office Live Workspace, you can learn more at the link.
Now the question is, as a Microsoft Office user, how can you get the most out of Office Live Workspace? If you are interested in learning about this, keep reading.
What you need first
You need to own MS Office before you can use Office Live Workspace. You need to have this because Office Live Workspace is just a "free documents online and file sharing storage" service from Microsoft, as opposed to Google Docs which is a complete online office suite.
What this means is that you cannot create documents online with Live Workspace as opposed to Google Docs. You cannot even edit online with Live Workspace UNLESS you have MS Office installed on your computer. However, there is an obvious advantage to using Office Live Workspace, which will be discussed later in this tutorial.
Another thing that you need before you can start Office Live Workspace is to have Windows Live account. If you do not have, you can visit the Office Live Workspace site and sign up for a new Live account by clicking "Get started now."
