Since Office Live Workspace is closely related to the Workspaces in Office Live Small Business's business applications, I look at it simply as free additional storage space available to create workspaces. Therefore it makes perfect sense that a link to Office Live Workspace appears in Office Live Small Business's left navigation panel as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: You can use work seamlessly between Office Live Workspace and Office Live Small Business
The link disappears, however, when you are on the Business application dashboard as the first marker in Figure 2 indicates.
Figure 2: My workaround for adding Links to Windows Live Services
To work around it, I created a links web part on the dashboard as shown by the second marker. And while I was at it, I also created a link for for (SkyDrive) which, again, I view as just another extension to the free storage space Office Live Small Business offers me. The beauty of the links is that they use the same Windows Live ID for authentication, So I don't have to log in to these services again; Office Live Small Business happily passes the authentication through. In effect the links integrate seamlessly with my Office Live Small Business account.
I'd like to see these links integrated into Office Live Small Business's navigation, or even better, the ability for us to customize the navigation with links of our choice.
