A Hotmail co-founder, Sabeer Bhatia, is placing his bets on an online office productivity suite that is positioned to compete with similar offerings from Microsoft and Google. Instant Collaboration Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd (InstaColl), a Bangalore company co-founded by Bhatia, unveiled its Live Documents last week, an application that allows users to access and work on their documents online using a browser, and collaborate and share documents in real-time with others. The software supports any browser that supports Flash from Adobe Systems Inc. and runs on any computer operating system, said Sumanth Raghavendra, chief executive officer of InstaColl. Online documents can also be synchronized and worked while off-line, using a desktop client that wraps around an office suite running on the desktop, Raghavendra said. Live Documents automatically synchronizes all changes, the next time the user goes online. Users can work on the document in Microsoft Office when off-line, for example, and then the document will be updated in Live Documents for online collaboration, he added. Live Documents is currently available for technology preview here.

I love that. M$ buys his company, so he rips-off the re-branding they use!

Hotmail -> Windows Live Hotmail

Anyway, I'd hope for good things from this because Hotmail always was (and in my opinion still is) a very good free email service. Hopefully it will be better than Google apps at the very least :ohwell:

Nah, he just needs to make them good enough to beat out MS products so he can sell it off to them again, LoL.
Seriously though its good to see he's still out there and working on new products for people.
