Microsoft gets it wrong, again

Microsoft just opened up the beta for Office Live Workspace, and once again they've gotten it wrong. Although Office Live Workspace allows users to share documents online and collaborate with others over the internet, sadly its utility is severely limited because Microsoft Office is still required for full functionality. In its favor it's free (although MS Office isn't) and it gives 250 MB of storage (far less than Google Docs or other online word processing services), but this is overshadowed by its reliance upon the desktop dinosaur, Office.

Me, I still use Office because it's what we use at work, but I'm not going to install it on my next PC. I'll be using a combination of OpenOffice and Google Docs.
