Microsoft announced a couple of weeks ago their “Live” product line. They are trying to get more into the web services market, by providing a better email experience online, as well as some form of Microsoft Office online. As of now, here are a few of the betas that you can try or sign up for:
Windows Live

There is no description on the Windows Live site that I can quote from. It is essentially a browser home page. You can view blog entries, Hotmail, horoscopes, and few other things.
