Yesterday, Microsoft released sample mashup code that hints more at Office Live's directions and opportunities for developers.
What Microsoft calls "Office Live Contact Map" is sample code for creating "a map displaying the location of all of your contacts included in the Contacts list in the Business Contact Manager application when you have either an Office Live Essentials or Premium subscription." Microsoft's map mashup, which uses Virtual Earth APIs and SharePoint Services 3.0, requires one of the two paid Office Live services--Essentials or Premium. At its core, Office Live is hosted SharePoint.
