After just six months since it first introduced Office Live Workspace Beta, Microsoft revealed that in excess of 1 million users have signed-up to the service. This is really a very good count. Even I was shocked after reading this news as I was not expecting that big number. While on track to deliver the final version of Office Live Workspace by the end of 2008, the Redmond company applauded the milestone as an indication of the clear success of the project.

Designed as a complementary service to the Office System, which remains with its roots dug deep on the desktop, Office Live Workspace is the closest Microsoft has to a competitor for Google Docs and Spreadsheets. But I guess it will take some time for Google Docs to over come Office Live.
