Live@edu is the ultimate suite of applications, mobile, desktop and web-based, to help students collaborate on campus, and create a community that lasts a lifetime. The Microsoft Live@edu program provides institutions of higher education and K-12 with a set of free hosted and co-branded collaboration and communication services for students, alumni, and applicants, leading with an offer of Windows LiveĀ HotmailĀ®, a hosted e-mail service, and Office Live Workspace, an online space to collaborate on Microsoft Office documents. Although Microsoft hosts the e-mail, the institution maintains control: you continue to create, delete, and store institution e-mail addresses for your constituents, as you do today. The website uses SilverLight.
