Windows
Live is a Web site, where you can store and share information, such as
contacts, e-mail (using hotmail), photos, and files. Windows Live is a
free service provided by Microsoft. Windows Live provides drive space,
called a SkyDrive, for you to store files and photos in a folder, just
like your computer drive, where others with permission can access them
using a browser. To make storing files on the SkyDrive quick and easy,
Office 2010 programs provide a Save to Web command (New!) on the Save & Send screen for you to save Office documents directly to a SkyDrive folder (New!)
using a Windows Live account. Once the Office documents are stored on
the SkyDrive, or a Microsoft SharePoint server as another option, you
can view or edit them in a browser using a Microsoft Office Web App (New!), which is installed and provided by Windows Live.
