Beta testing Office Live Workspace

Oh my! Once you get going, tools come out of the woodwork. I got an invite to try out Office Live Workspaces, http://workspace.office.live.com/. (Actually, probably everyone with a Hotmail or Live or MSN email account got the invite.)

It's cool! It's like a Sharepoint site, but I really like the simplified features. You can EASILY create multiple workspaces, allow others to view them, post a range of document types, and organize them. I LOVE IT! All it needs is version control so you can see previous versions of a document. An http:// sourcesafe.office.live.com. :o)

It's a wee bit buggy, but not in any way that would cause loss of data, thankfully. Dates sometimes don't show up, or you can't save documents back to the server (you have to re-upload them), and I'd like to be able to store non-Office type documents to new folders (not just a Note, Excell spreadsheet or Word doc), but it'll TOTALLY serve our purposes.
