The Office Live Workspace beta has recently been made available in the UK.
I was really looking forward to it, as I though that it would allow me to
keep my Outlook .pst file online, and access it from different computers.

It's not possible, is it? I am so disappointed.

Microsoft has never supported .pst files stored on a network (WAN or LAN) and certainly not on a remote website.

I don't remember what gave me the impression, but I thought that Office Live
Workspace would give the ability to do that, in a similar way to connecting
to an Exchange server.

For Office Live Workspace, I can't say, but for Windows Live Hotmail and the
Outlook Live subscription, yes.

Ah, that must be it. I got Office Live Workspace confused with Office
Outlook Live.

All this Live branding is a complete joke. It must be causing so much
customer confusion.

And not making Outlook, a web centred program, more web-borne in this way,
for non-enterprise customers, is a massive mistake on Microsoft's part.
They are just throwing market share away to Google.

No. You can use office live email accts with the outlook connector and
access mail from different computers Exchange server style.
