Today, enterprise-class wiki and collaborative portal MindTouch announced the release of Desktop Suite, a collection of tools for making any Windows document or file web-based, searchable, editable, and shareable through one-click publishing from any application with improved drag and drop capabilities and rapid indexing of content.

In a word, the release allows Microsoft-rooted corporate networks to keep information in a shared, collaborative environment rather than locked in individual PCs' "application silos." The suite includes Aurelia Reporter (for publishing and sharing versioned documents), Desktop Connector (for dragging and dropping files or directories into the MindTouch environment), and Microsoft Word and Outlook Connectors (for one-click publishing of documents, threaded conversations, and attachments). These tools enable working via web browsers and permit collaboration without installed software.
