I checked out Office Live coverage at <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/02/15/microsoft-office-live-goes-into-beta/" rel="nofollow">TechCrunch</a> but it got me confused even further. At one point it says <em>"This is not an online version of Microsoft Office"</em>, but towards the end it also states <em>"Among the additional applications is an office document collaboration tool. You can share an office document real time with others, allowing them to view and edit it."</em> I agree you can’t be really sure unless you have tried it.

Either no one else has tried it yet or they're just not saying. I simply want to caution anyone who's inferring that this is a web-based office suite. It doesn't seem to be, to me.

HealthVault offers complete control and privacy of your records, so I am not really sure how it's conflicting with HIPPA. If that's what you mean. 2. As about Fedora RPM for Silverlight I guess it will take a while :-). 3. I think you're right on compatibility issues, Microsoft has a tendency to fuck things up. 1.

It is almost instantaneous - much like that of the search included with Vista. Additionally, it can also be set to run instead of the standard XP search. Microsoft says it has a: "<i>familiar yet powerful user interface for instantly finding files and e-mail messages located on your PC and connected resources, and one-click access to move, delete, copy, burn, attach, or drag and drop files as needed</i>". Who could want more from a search tool? Hello Aibek, in answer to your question, it is a lot faster than the standard Windows search.

Did they guys at HealthyVault ever hear of this thing called HIPPA? 2. Where's the Fedora RPM for Silverlight? 3. "Well, who if not Microsoft can guarantee 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office." Microsoft can't guarantee 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office, or haven't you been using Microsoft Office all these years? 1. Did they guys at HealthyVault ever hear of this thing called HIPPA?

2. Where’s the Fedora RPM for Silverlight?

3. “Well, who if not Microsoft can guarantee 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office.”

Microsoft can’t guarantee 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office, or haven’t you been using Microsoft Office all these years?

It blends seamlessly into the XP environment and enables me to search for a variety of file-types. There are many other freeware desktop search applications available, but I prefer the interface and the features that this one has. For XP, Windows Desktop Search is an apllication that I like using.

Although, some of the mentioned features suggest that it's a full office suite. ex. Document Viewing and Editing: <em>"... control who can view, comment, and edit your documents "</em> If it's a mere file storage solution than option to allow someone to view and edit your documents wouldn't be the there. ;-) I agree it does look like a document sharing solution.

That said, I think the mention of Office Live seems incorrect. You describe it as an online version of Office, but all that I read on the site you link us to (including its FAQ and examples) suggests that this is merely a file sharing system for those who already use MS OFfice, not an online version of the tools themselves.
