If you use Microsoft Office and you frequently work from different computers, you need to check out the Office Live add-in for Office Live Workspace (currently in public beta).

This free online service gives you the ability to store and share up to 5 GB of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, and the Office Live add-in incorporates the ability to work with documents in the Office Live Workspace without leaving the comfort of your Microsoft Office app.

The benefits of working with Workspace and its Office add-in are powerful. Without changing the way you work, your documents will follow you whenever you have an Internet connected computer running Office, and if you're away from your own PC, you can still access your stuff from any other machine. Additionally, Office Live Workspace makes sharing documents across the Internet trivial.

Getting started is simple: First, you need to have a Windows Live ID, if you already have a Hotmail account, you're already good to go. Next, go to the Office Live Workspace page, click on "Get Started Now", login with your Live ID, and create one or more workspaces following the on-screen prompts.
