Office Live Screenshots

After the announcements yesterday about Microsoft's new "live" services the company held a press conference detailing all the products in the Microsoft Live platform.

The company demoed an early version of Office Live, a managed web application for organising calendar, mail and contacts. Office Live will combine Web Hosting, Collaboration of Projects, Business Applications and Communications. Many expect a fully hosted version of Microsoft Office but this is not the company's intension for Office Live.

Microsoft demoed a payroll application using Office Live that could be used by small businesses to manage their payroll systems over a rich web interface.

Thanks to eagle eyed Niall for taking some photos at the event.

Microsoft is expected to release Office Live to beta in the firsts quarter of 2006.
