Office of the cloud on the way…

SkyDriveExcel

I have already had spoken of Windows Live SkyDrive Microsoft, yesterday I received an invitation to access a "Technical Preview" of new features. The new features are very briefly a version of Office online (no browser).

For now only available Excel and Power Point, judging by the available shortcuts will also be available as Word and One Note.

I have used the 25 gigas Skydrive mainly for some backups and sharing files, had never looked at the Skydrive as a collaboration tool, I believe I'll have to revise my opinion. Although the first look into the spreadsheet from Microsoft I have seemed more limited than that of Google Docs, we are comparing a product that is not beta, with another mature product.

Only recommend Microsoft to organize a bit, because although many services available online, these are scattered, I believe that this case would look a good bit for example to Google, where easily access any service without having to search Google or Bing(!!!) the name of the service. For example would be an idea to take advantage for example Skydrive and create integration with Hotmail and other Microsoft services in order to have a really good collaborative tool and easy to use, because being good is not everything.

    O Skydrive é um espaço que pode servir para partilhar com outros utilizadores de windows Live. Na verdade a Skydrive é um serviço pertencente ao windows Live e daí já se encontrar integrado nos restantes serviços Live: Hotmail, fotos, msn, etc

    Agora eles estarem a integrar o Office 2010 versão cloud no serviço Windows Live é que me parece uma excelente ideia.
    Mesmo para mac-users é um must a skydrive
