We have just told you about Microsoft's brilliant (so they claim) new plan involving the offering of a new web service, trying to fight back rivals like Google and Yahoo.

Today it's time to see what the big fuss is all about, taking a closer look at what Bill Gates presents as a
revolution.

This is presented as the most inspired move and direction change that Microsoft has seen in the last few years, but leaving the big, flashy presentation aside, what is Microsoft really trying to offer?

One of the best moves Microsoft has ever came up with is trying to finance the project through advertising, which is a nice change.

Several essential Microsoft products and services, ranging from office software to e-mail and instant messaging services, are going to be delivered online and on demand.

These new services will be called Windows Live and Office Live and they should eventually replace popular services like MSN Messenger and Hotmail.
