Office Live Small Business reaches 1 million subscribers

Office Live Small Business, the beta for small businesses to establish an online presence with a free website, domain name, and 100 email addresses, has reached 1 million subscribers, according to a Microsoft press release.  Currently up and running in 5 languages/locales (US, UK, France, Germany, Japan), Office Live Small Business provides basic services for free, and offers upgraded services (more space/storage, Store Manager to sell products directly from your site or from eBay, email marketing tools, as well as a free adManager tool to manage ads set up through Microsoft’s adCenter) on a subscription basis.  Office Live Small Business also sets you up with an Office Live Workspace account, to collaborate on documents and files, using Microsoft Office products or a web interface. 

OLSB

You can sign up for Office Live Small Business (if you’re in one of the 5 locales) for free.

We signed up 6 months ago probably for the same reason that most others have...its a good deal.  1 million subscribers is great news as it should spark further platform development and 3rd party support.  Something you might not have the commitment to if there wasn't a sizeable subscriber base.

Congratulations!

Although, after 2 years and with 1 million subscribers, it should no longer be in beta and be extended to more countries than the original ones.

Luckily I was able to join the beta in its earliest stages, so now I get to enjoy a free ride with not having to deal with domain fees that did not exist in the basic package before the recent changes. I find it pretty fair since I never asked for more than what I needed or wanted. I just hope they continue to acknowledge that, for I am in no position to begin paying for it.
