From LINQ to SilverLight – Watch videos and hear about all the cool technologies coming and the people behind them. http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/online en Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:19:19 GMT Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:19:19 GMT Rev9 7 1 25 BBC iPlayer Set to Go Global Sitting here in my living room in the UK, I’m continually frustrated by the fact that there is so much great US TV available at this time of year, and we get to see precisely none of it until the Spring. New season of Chuck? Steve Buscemi in Boardwalk Empire? Yep, I’ll take a ticket and join the queue – just no spoilers in the comments, okay?

Still, I guess we get to see great British TV programmes ahead of our North American cousins like Top Gear, Sherlock Holmes and… erm, did I say Top Gear, and if we miss them live, we can call upon the trusty BBC iPlayer, the fabulous streaming video app from the Beeb which delivers the last 7 days of TV and radio programming from the network on multiple devices, whenever you please.

Right now, it’s only available here in the UK and since launch in October 2005, it has taken the country by storm. Unlike commercial subscription services like Hulu and Netflix, it’s fully funded by the UK TV Licence Fee, so is free for all with a broadband connection. How popular? Well, current estimates suggest there are around 63 million people clinging to this rock, and BBC iPlayer serves up around 123 million streams. A month.

The great news is that according to Engadget, BBC iPlayer may well be venturing outside these shores, without the need for a dubious UK-based VPN. A report in the Daily Telegraph suggests that the BBC are prepping iPlayer to go global, and are considering both subscription and ad-supported business models. The bad news is the broadsheet believes you could be paying up to $10 per episode for your fix of Doctor Who next year. Still, if you’ve gotta have it, you’ve gotta have it.

Now, if we’re prepared to share our best video on demand service with you guys on the left siode of the pond, how about cutting us Brits a similar break?

Once the beta launches, Microsoft Office Live Workspace users will be able to store 1000+ documents online and access them from any computer with a web browser and internet connection. You'll be able to invite other people to your workspace, where you will have control over who can view, edit, and comment on your Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. You'll also be able to synchronize contact lists, task lists, and event lists with Outlook. However, you can upload other documents, too, like PDFs and pictures; you are not just limited to Microsoft Office file formats.

Your files will be protected against viruses by Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint, and they can only be accessed with a Windows Live ID and password. Despite numerous comparisons to online office suites, that is not what this is. Rather, Office Live Workspace is a place to store, share, and collaborate with others on your documents online, whether those documents are slideshows or spreadsheets, PDFs or photos. Although the current online office suites may work for light users, there are those who need the robust functionality of a full-fledged office suite, and they shouldn't have to miss out on the online component that's increasingly necessary in today's world. That's where Office Live Workspace comes in.

For people who have worked in larger companies, the description of the new service may sound familiar; it's been dubbed "Sharepoint Lite" by some, and it's true, the service will soon bring "regular users" some of the powerful online collaboration and sharing features large businesses have used for years in Sharepoint. While many will clamor to be the top online office suite, Office Live Workspace offers a different way to work: a combination of software you own (Microsoft Office) plus a service (Office Live Workspace). ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/coolstuff/Sign-Up-for-Microsoft-Office-Live-Workspace Microsoft Office Live Workspace, the recently announced online companion to Microsoft Office, now has a website where you can pre-register to use this new, free service.
