Microsoft Live: Suite Success

Microsoft is officially launching its Office Live service on Nov. 15, expanding its offerings for small businesses both in content and its availability overseas.

Office Live is a set of Internet-based services for small businesses, designed to get them up and running online quickly. Microsoft unveiled the beta version in February and more than 160,000 small businesses took part in the testing and development phase.

One of those businesses was the Sequoia Lodge in Kernville, Calif., a remote vacation lodge outside of Bakersfield.

Lodge owner Brenda Derrow had made a previous effort with an independent Web hosting provider, but the site went without an update for five years and had little content or photos on it.

"You have to be able to show people what you've got here, and the old Web site didn't do that," said Derrow.
