Microsoft Office Live Launches in US

Microsoft on Wednesday officially removed the "beta" tag from Office Live after nine months of testing and launched the service in the Unites States. Beta versions will debut in Japan, France, the U.K. and Germany on November 21.

According to Microsoft, nearly 160,000 businesses tested out the service's various features, and through that feedback it has made several changes for the final release. The company has also inked deals with Toshiba and Sony to provide links to Office Live on the manufacturers' desktop and notebook computers. Three levels of service will be available, ranging from free to $39.95 USD per month.
