Microsoft SharedView, which was previously known as Tahiti is now available for public beta. Back in March, when Tahiti was first leaked, it created a lot of buzz around the blogosphere, but Microsoft quickly pulled it’s plug.
Microsoft SharedView is a free screen sharing application which can handle upto 15 users in real time, making it one of the best tools for collaborative needs. You’ll also be able to share files among your group using a feature called as Handouts. In future versions, you’ll also be able to talk and chat, just like how you do at normal meetings. This software is not just useful for business, but it can also be used to help out your friends, when they run into trouble.
To start a session in Microsoft SharedView, you’ll need to sign in using a Windows Live ID. However, no Live ID is necessary to join a session started by someone else. Amit Agarwal points out a strange clause which says that this service may only be used within United States of America, though I was able to successfully try the software here in India.

I wasn’t able to try the previous version of SharedView (a.k.a Tahiti), but from what I read in Download Squad, it seems like Microsoft has polished the interface of the share sharing tool. I’m pretty excited to see the future version of the application with more collaborative features like chat or voice conversation.
