Microsoft hasn't hit the online community (yet), instead they've released a service for you to share your office docs across the Internet called Office Live Workspace. Many believe that this will allow Microsoft to focus on one version of Office and thus creating better applications, others believe that Microsoft should throw out the desktop applications all together and just focus on creating online office applications.
What Microsoft have released is an online version of Microsoft Sharepoint which allows you to share documents and sync edits. There are some additional services like an online Word editor (however very limited).
The service also includes these features:-
* Activity panel. A new activity panel shows all the activity in a workspace at a glance.
* Notifications. People can now receive e-mail notifications about changes made to their workspaces or documents.
* Direct links. People can now bookmark their workspace or a workspace item via a unique URL in a browser window.
* Multi-file upload. People can now upload several files simultaneously by simply dragging and dropping from their desktop.
* Improved sharing. New sharing functionality includes an easier user interface and auto-completion of e-mail addresses.

EA Games will be launching The Sims Online as a free service under a new name "EA-Land" which will be in direct competition to Second Life.
The biggest difference between EA-Land and Second Life will be the monitoring and safety net of the game. So people can join and know that they are in safe hands of EA and not an individual like Second Life sometimes encounters.
EA is finally accepting that gaming should be targeting the Internet a lot more for functionality and multi-playing.
I have the game downloading at the moment on my fiance's computer (total of 1.5 gb) and will keep you posted about what I personally think about the game.
The game is still under development but still playable.

PageOnce is onto the ball about making a portal that accesses all your account on the web. From services such as banking, social networking, airline, email, and shopping accounts such as Citibank, Facebook, American Airlines, Gmail, and Amazon.
They haven't been able to gain relationships with all the services out there (as of yet), as not all services have an API to enable services such as Facebook to be able to login and modify data. However they are able to read your data from some of your services and then they provide you with the links to edit this data.
