Microsoft SharedView, while not technically a Windows Live program, is available on www.get.live.com under “more betas”, and it seems to be falling in the cracks between Office and Windows Live.

SharedView allows you to collaborate on documents etc with up to 15 people in real time, while communicating together using, among others,  Windows Live Messenger.

    Isn’t this what Windows Meeting Space is supposed to do? Why don’t they just update Meeting Space & release it to XP users, a la what they’re doing with Photo Gallery?

    It is a great product use and doc online and you set up place two talk about any thing.The finale product is going two better when it done.

    I agree with toptucker : What’s the big difference between SharedView for WL, and Win Meeting Space in Vista?

    That’s what always puzzles me, Microsoft making way too many more programs than they already have.

    Windows Meeting Space works over a local network or an ad hoc wireless network for people in the same room or building. SharedView works over the internet for people in more distant locations.

    “That’s what always puzzles me, Microsoft making way too many more programs than they already have.”

    Indeed. They should be simplifying and unifying their product lineup, not scattering it!

    I was under the impression that Meeting Space works over the internet too, even though it’s meant for ad hoc stuff. But even so, why not just release “Meeting Space 2.0″ and have the new version support more than local networks? I’m not sure people are going to appreciate the difference.

    I totally agree – they shouldn’t scatter all these different products that does the same thing with different names – just like how their mail client used to be (Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail desktop…etc).

    However, I hope “SharedView” is just the codename for this product (which it is) and hope that the final name would just be something like “Windows Live Meeting Space” – an update to Windows Meeting Space similar to how Photo Gallery and Mail is done.
