Microsoft to host partner software

After announcing that it will offer hosted versions of Exchange and SharePoint, Microsoft is detailing plans to host third-party applications for partner companies.

Microsoft will soon detail ways that partner companies will be able to deliver their services based on Microsoft's hosted services, the software company said on Tuesday.
