Holy fuck, check out this great list of Microsoft software and services available to almost everyone (some are limited to students for example). It’s an impressive list.

Of course if Google or Apple had a list this full and comprehensive they’d get applauded on all the tech sites. But sadly Microsoft often doesn’t get the recognition they deserve.

Go get some.

This is a set of online solutions stitched together to help businesses move their IT infrastructure over to Microsoft.

From the BPOS site, here’s the summary:

The Business Productivity Online Suite is a set of Microsoft hosted messaging and collaboration solutions including Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Office Live Meeting, and Microsoft Office Communications Online.

It is part of Microsoft’s Software + Services model.

Mary-Jo Foley over at Microsoft Watch notes that the service suite is expected to be released next month. However, Microsoft Online Services blog post she links to seems to have been pulled.
