In this post, I’m going to give a quick breakdown of Office Live Workspace and compare it with other such services like Doc Syncer.在这个后，我会给予一个快速破裂的Office Live的工作，并与其他类似的服务，如商务部syncer 。 Office Live Workspace is still in beta and is not available to the public just yet.办公室生活工作仍处于测试阶段，并没有提供给公众还为时过早。

Office Live Workspace Review办公室生活工作检讨

The first thing you’ll notice about Office Live Workspace is the concept of a “Workspace”.第一件事，你会发现约有办公室生活工作空间的概念是一个"工作空间" 。 A workspace is simply a place where you can add Microsoft Office documents, notes, and lists.工作空间根本是一个地方，您可以添加微软Office文件，说明，并列举了。 You can view your documents in Office Live Workspace or share them with others you want to collaborate with.您可查看文件的Office Live工作或与其他用户共享你想要协作。 However, you CANNOT edit your documents online.但是，你不能编辑你的网上文件。

Considering you can edit Office documents with Google Docs, it’sa shame Microsoft that you can’t edit Office documents with their online document manager.考虑到您可以通过编辑Office文件与Google文档，它是羞耻微软表示，你不能编辑Office文件与他们的在线文件管理器。 All you get is a preview of the document.所有你得到的是一个预览的文件。

办公室生活工作区

Currently, the only things you can do in a workspace is add a document, view a document, share a document, or create a new note, list, task list, contact list, or event list.目前，唯一的东西，你可以做的一个工作区，是添加了一份文件，查看文件，共享文件，或者建立一个新的注释，列表，任务列表，联系人名单，或其他大型活动的名单。 Note that you cannot actually create any new Office documents through Office Live Workspace.请注意，您不能真正创造任何新的Office文件，通过现场办公的工作空间。

Overall, it’sa good first step for Microsoft to at least put something on the web!整体来说，这是很好的第一步，为微软至少把某些东西就在网上！ I think that eventually they need to allow people to edit documents online that are compatibile with Word, Excel and Powerpoint.我认为他们最终需要让人们来编辑文件，在网上有compatibile与Word ， Excel和PowerPoint 。 People will not use this service is all they can do is create notes and lists.人们不会用这个服务是完全可以做的是创造纸币及名单。

As for backing up your documents, DocSyner is still way better.至于备份您的文件， docsyner仍是较好的方式。 It automatically scans your entire computer for all documents and uploads them in the background!它会自动扫描整台计算机中的所有文件，并上传在他们的背景！ Using Office Live Workspace you have to manually add individual files to a workspace.使用Office活工作，你必须手动放入个人档案的一个工作区。 There’s not even a way to import multiple documents at once.还有的甚至不是一个办法，以进口多种文件一次。

I think if Microsoft really tries hard, Live Workspace could be better than Google Docs, but they’ll have to let go of Office only being on the desktop and allow people to do everything online!我认为，如果微软真的尽量努力，活出的工作空间，可以更好地比Google文档，但他们不得不放手的办事处不仅被放在桌面上，并让人们尽一切在线！
