    Get thee along to www.live.com and sign up for a free SkyDrive account, then use office online for free, it's SaaS innit :wink:

    You also get 5Gb of online storage free, so you can upload all your files.

    FREE

    You can fit "all your files" into 5GB?

    ..or is that "all your files" except photos, music, video....

    There are loads of free SaaS services available now, if like me you use the ones i've mentioned then it saves a sync'd version of the files locally so you have the best of both, available anywhere and offline, backed up without effort and in most cases version control to.

    Did I mention I work in a SaaS company ..... not any of those mind, we charge for our services, how else could I pay of all these bikes :D
