Become a Microsoft Office Live Small Business Partner

They call it “dog food”, I call it common sense.  You should really try something in-house before you sell it as a trusted advisor.   I tried Office Live (Beta) about a year ago and it was not ready for prime-time.  I inquired if they still have a free subscription for SBSC Partners and this is where I was sent.  Is it going to compete with Google?  You be the judge.
