Microsoft defines small businesses as those with 50 employees or fewer. The service originally was called Office Live but Microsoft recently changed the name.People often mistake Office Live for a Web-based version of Microsoft&#39;s Office productivity suite, one of the reasons Microsoft added &quot;Small Business&quot; to the service&#39;s name. Eventually, Microsoft does plan to offer features of its Office software online as a service, plans Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates discussed Monday at the Microsoft Office System Developer Conference in San Jose, California.Microsoft said Office Live Small Business currently has nearly 600,000 customers in the countries where it is currently available -- the U.S., U.K., France, Germany and Japan.More information about Office Live Small Business can be found on the home page for the service.
