Is anybody here using Microsoft Office Live? Is the email based on hosted exchange?
This article (http://www.pcw.co.uk/personal-computer-world/features/2191242/hosted-services?page=3) seems to suggest it is, but Microsoft's Office Live website (http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/officelive/FX101465131033.aspx) is (deliberately?) somewhat vague on the technical details.
If so, it's a great deal! I am not really interested in the web hosting (at the moment), but the idea of having 25 hosted Exchange accounts on my own domain for free is quite appealing. That's assuming the service is available for private individuals and not just businesses...
I'd sign up and see what happens, but I am a bit wary of tying a domain name into this service if it is not what I expect.
Any information from existing users gratefully received.
Thanks,
Ian
