What is this thing about MIcrosoft Office Live!?
I've heard they provide free domain registration with space and everything.
Its surprising that Microsoft have come to this...

Comment guys? Has anyone signed up for this service?

This is a comparison chart of everything they offer. I don't have it, but it seems like a good thing. :-)

seems to work only in the United States :

I guess Google Apps is a more powerful alternative. Apart from just a website, it lets you have a special GTalk server, GMail and Google Calendar. All this is specifically your company and not the general public. So your gmail address would be you@yourcompany.com and you will get to use the Gmail interface.

Also you get your own GTalk server where only your company people log in. So that way you build a complete company wide internet solution.

It is not yet available, but I signed up for it. WHen the beta is available they will tell me about it.

Also, a point to note is that, its only good for small companies. Bigger companies would never risk putting their network on Google. Same is the case with Microsoft.
