Hopefully this will not disrupt any of the website or sharepoint functionality currently offered in OLSB. If this means we will have a more seamless UI experience, easier to switch between Windows Live and Office Live Small Business then I'm all for it.

No doubt they will also be looking to consolidate their various storage/sharing solutions for Live SkyDrive, Live Sync, Live Mesh and Office Live Workspace.

dneimke: If you have Microsoft Office installed you are already offered the Office Live Add-in when you install Windows Live Essentials. And if you have a version of that with Office Outlook you are offered the Microsoft Office Outlook connector too.

We'll see. I'm all for some consolidation, but only where it makes sense. I see nothing in this that makes sense.

Wouldn't it be nice to view a word doc on the net from WL Hotmail, make changes using Office Live and resend the mail back.... or even preview doc/xls/pdfs etc
