Microsoft just announced they’ve made Microsoft Workspace available free to the public. Sign up is here: http://workspace.officelive.com/

You save your files on a free internet site instead of on the hard drive of your computer, so you can get to the files and open them from any computer that is connected to the internet.

* Save 1000+ Microsoft Office documents in one place
* Access them from almost any computer with a Web browser
* No more flash drives or sending yourself documents via e-mail

This is a great way to get files from home to school, or vice versa. Also, you can “share” your files so that others can read and comment on them, so this is a great way to work together on group projects. No more getting hung up if someone in the group is absent but the files are in their folder on the school server.
