As far as the online-workspace type thing goes, this looks very good. And with the integration into the desktop Office products it seems to offer a real advantage over Google Apps (which I expect is exactly the point!) I’m just not sure the average computer user quite knows what to do with this type of thing. The examples look very reasonable, but I just don’t see most people in the real world working this way yet. I think overtime its the only way to go, but it’ll be a while — old habits die hard. A new technology also needs to be MUCH better than what someone is currently using in order to get them to invest the time/cost/hassle to switch. Email is a terrible collaboration/file sharing tool, but its still the one most used. And I don’t see that leap here, yet…
