November fifteen, when Microsoft tends to make on the market the last edition of its three Workplace Reside service offerings, there is going to be one or two surprises. may be the family of Microsoft's services add-ons — targeted at small businesses — designed to supplement Microsoft Workplace. release, known inside Microsoft as Workplace Dwell 1.5, might be the first delivery of what Microsoft intends to make an annually updated set of services. (In between the major code drops,

win 7 pro, said Marja Koopmans, director of channel and business strategy for Office Live. She attributed the decision to beta-tester and partner feedback, and said to expect the ultimate Live Collaboration offering to be aimed at slightly larger customers. first outlined publicly its Workplace Reside plans, company officials said there would be three Workplace Dwell SKUs: Basics,

Collaboration was intended to be a $29.95 per month subscription offering, based on SharePoint that would allow users to build password-protected "Shared Sites" for collaborating among internal employees and external partners. of the Live Collaboration SKU is an "Workplace Dwell Premium" offering — which supplants the Essentials offering as the new high-end Workplace Dwell SKU. also has upped the amount of storage space it is providing Office Live customers with the closing release. When the company first began beta testing Office Live in April, Microsoft committed to providing Basics users with 30 MB of Web site storage; Collaboration users with none (not applicable); and Essentials users with 50 MB. The closing storage allocations, as of November,

For Essentials, the former 50 MB limit is now 500 MB. And Premium customers will get up to 1 GB of shared-workspace storage. Originally, Basics users were set to be allowed five free e-mail accounts; Collaboration users none (not applicable); and Essentials users, 50 accounts. The final counts: Basics users get 25 free accounts; Essentials users get 50; and Premium get 50. outlined its original goals for Office Stay, Microsoft also has added several new features, including a synchronization capability, linking Office Dwell with Business Contact Manager in Outlook; integration with Workplace Accounting Express 2007, the free, entry-level small-business accounting product Microsoft launched yesterday; and integration with the Microsoft adManager keyword-purchasing services that is currently in beta test. is largely consistent with what Microsoft originally promised, with Workplace Stay Basics remaining free (and ad-supported); Office Live Essentials will undoubtedly be $19.95 per month — instead of the $29.95 originally expected. The new Office Live Premium SKU also will cost $39.95 per month. (The postponed Live Collaboration SKU was also set originally to be priced at $29.95 per month.) said more than 160,000 individuals have been beta testing Workplace Dwell in the U.S.. On November fifteen, when the services go gold here, Microsoft will commence betas of Workplace Reside in France, Germany, Japan and the U.K. from Koopmans on when or if Microsoft will turn Microsoft Works into another member of the Office Live family members. Stay tuned on that one.
