Microsoft released Microsoft Web Apps, a set of free applications which emulate the functions of Google Documents. I've only just got round to trying them out.
Microsoft's new Web Apps platform is accessed through Windows Live.
If you have a Windows Live account you just need to log into it and
you're good to go. If you don't have a Windows Live account you will
need to create one before you gain access.
Once you log in, you will be greeted by what Microsoft calls Skydrive.
I'm an eLearning Adviser specializing in stimulating and supporting innovation in learning via eBooks, eMagazines, blogs (including audio versions), online TV, interactive resources, forums, workshops, conferences and face2face consultations. Evaluating and becoming familiar with sustainable and new technologies allows me to respond to the needs of learning providers from a position of experience rather than 'hearsay'. Supported learning providers, in the northwest of England (UK), can contact me for FREE consultations. Based at Lancaster University I work for the JISC Regional Support Centre - Northwest.
