Office Online (like exchange online or sharepoint online) will have to be the name.

Microsoft Ensemble - okay, i guess

Microsoft ArcLight - play on silverlight, but what is the relevance of "Arc"? ...nay

Microsoft Offsite - sounds like a backup solution ...nay

Microsoft Equipt - this doesn't convey web applications ...nay

Thats what I thought Office Live was all about. I guess they are trying to have a single name rather than the lengther "Office Web Applications". Of the survey names, only "Ensemble" makes any sense to me. But still, I'd prefer if they stuck with "Office"...it has brand recognition. Perhaps "Office iSuite" or "Office SkyApps". If it's Ensemble, does this mean we'll be referring to MS Word variants as "Office Word" and "Ensemble Word"?

Microsoft Ensemble

Microsoft Optro

Microsoft ArcLight

Microsoft Offsite

Microsoft Equipt

I am not aware of Google Apps

uh so Microsoft Office Web Apps did not make the cut (what i would say is my preferred logical final name for it)

well out of that list of names above

'Offsite' sounds similar to the 'on the web' but while away from the office suite app (Office 2010/14)

Equipt - already taken (was Albany)

"Microsoft's all-in-one, subscription-based service for office, communication, and security software."

Arclight - sounds like Silverlight to me: silverlight in Office Web?

Ensemble & Optro - who knows?
