Microsoft to ship Office Live November 15
Microsoft has been beta-testing both Windows Live and Office Live ever since they were first announced last November. Now, a year later, Microsoft is saying that they will release the final version of Office Live on November 15. Office Live is a bit of a misnomer—it is not a replacement for Office, but rather a set of web hosting tools provided by Microsoft for small businesses. It offers domain, e-mail, and web site hosting, as well as tools for document collaboration and customer relations management (CRM). Office Live has been free for the duration of the beta period, but will cost $39.95 per month for the premium version following release. That gets you 2GB of online storage and 20 workspace users. There will also be a free, ad-supported, stripped-down version called Office Live Basics, and a lower-cost version called Office Live Essentials (10 workspace users and 1GB of storage) which will cost $19.95 per month.

Political Pre-Roll Lags Despite Online Video Hype
Do political advertisers "get" online video advertising? A less than user-friendly approach experienced on PoliticsNJ.com yesterday leads one to wonder: Visitors to New Jersey political news site were greeted with a full-page static ad denouncing Linda Stender, candidate for the state's 7th Congressional District, as a "spender." When users clicked to view the ad, which was paid for by a group supporting her opponent, Mike Ferguson, they weren't driven to another site to watch the spot, nor did a video player launch. Instead, that click initiated download of a Window Media Video file. Although many political campaigns have taken to hosting their TV ads on their Web sites, or distributing them through YouTube, only a handful has run video-enabled banners this year. Far fewer have run pre-roll video spots, which many believe are a natural Web extension of the television commercials they favor.
