Microsoft announced today that a beta version of its new Office Live Workspace is open to anyone and everyone who wants to take a test drive. 

The concept behind Office Live is to virtualize Microsoft Office programs like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in an on-line format available at anytime from anywhere. 

Some of the features? You can save more than 100 Microsoft Office documents on the Web, access them from almost any computer with Internet capability and even open and save files directly from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
