Is office.live, office.microsoft, workspace.office.live the same or different
programs?

Hi D.J.,

Microsoft 'Live' is the family name for online interactive/user involved services. In some cases it's rebranding, in most new
products. There are Office 'Live' product offerings and Windows 'Live' product offerings
(http://skydrive.live.com, http://search.live.com, http://spaces.live.com and http://soapbox.msn.com )

http://office.microsoft.com was http://microsoft.com/office and is the online content home for Windows based MS Office product
information, tools and help files. You generally can't save data to it. http://mactopia.com (aka http://microsoft.com/mac )is the
Office:mac home.

Although http://officelive.com appears as a Tab on the http://office.microosft.com pages it's basically a separate product offering
to the installed desktop products. Office Live Small Business/Basic, Office Live Workspaces and Skydrive and http://officelabs.com
and Soapboxare related, but separate offerings.

The Office products for handheld devices are also separate products .
