Outlook Live officially launched
Swinburne University Sarawak Campus has launched Live@Edu on 11 November 2010 to provide students with an improved email and calendaring service, 25 GB of online file storage and access to Office Web Apps.
In addition to these core University-supported services, students will be able to use their University branded Windows LiveID to access a wide range of Windows Live services, no only those offered or supported as part of Live@Edu.

The web client supports features such as right click, drag and drop and works with multiple browsers such as IE, Safari and Firefox. You can create multiple calendars that can be shared with others.
