Components of Live Documents:

Live Documents
- a full-featured suite of online Office productivity applications offering functionality equivalent to Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- Built using RIA technologies such as Flash and Flex, Live Documents allow users to view and edit documents within any common browser on any operating system from anywhere.
- Live Documents uses a Flash-based user interface that offers a richer and responsive user experience that is comparable to native Office software applications.
- In addition, Live Documents is available as a optional desktop client application that wraps around Microsoft Office and embeds collaborative capabilities into these hitherto standalone software applications
- Live Documents converts Microsoft Office applications from static standalone software to smart clients that are connected to the Internet and facilitate in-context document sharing (multiple people can edit a document at the same time) and management (security, access control and revision control) without requiring users to give up their familiar user interfaces.
- The Live Documents desktop client also ensures offline access to documents - a key failing of current online Office applications.
- A technology preview of Live Documents is available on an on-invitation basis with general availability to follow shortly.
- Live Documents is free for personal use with commercial versions available for enterprises both in a hosted form as well as an on-premise server.
