I watched the MIX08 keynote yesterday live. Something’s I took away from it: Sorry Ray Ozzie is seriously boring, his keynote wasn’t inspiring, informative, or appealing. I’m glad Microsoft is catching up with the cloud, they are at least 2 years behind Google (last year they were 4 years so they are making progress). They are really pushing Silverlight hard, even selling out to Nokia to get it on their phone. IE 8 looks promising, web slices look good, CSS 2.1, and HTML 5 goodness. Scott Gu is still the man, watch out Ray

Office Live Workspaces beta - Almost a Google Docs competitor but still appears you need to have word/excel/ppt locally and this saves it up in the cloud. Does come with versioning and sharing. You can download a msi that puts a "Save to Cloud" right in Word/Excel/PPT which is much better then doing a file upload. I can see using this as a backup solution.
