The launch of Microsoft's hosted software for small businesses is just around the corner, the company said.
In an e-mail sent to registered beta testers on Tuesday, Microsoft promised the beta was close at hand. It also explained the three different Office Live packages it designed for small business owners.
Microsoft Office Live Basics provides domain-name registration, site-design tools, Web hosting, Web site traffic reports and a still-to-be-determined number of e-mail accounts.
Microsoft Office Live Collaboration is a hosted version of Windows SharePoint. It lets a business create shared, password-protected collaboration sites. The offering includes online business applications to manage customer, project, sales and company information.
