Windows Live Groups: Online Collaboration Finally Makes Sense


Windows Live Groups: Online Collaboration Finally Makes Sense

We’ve been hearing a lot about online collaboration for document editing, Microsoft has been working on making it easy for users to team up and work together.

Windows Live Groups is a service that is intended to provide a free stable platform for regular users to combine their efforts. The service will integrate Office Web Apps. Being able to create a group and not having to explicitly ‘invite’ others to edit a document should make team projects a lot more easy to manage.

Screenshots posted on LiveSino.net (translated page) show that Microsoft will be integrating Calendar, Office Web Apps and Photos into Live Groups.
