You don't need SharePoint. I would say its the first toe in the water for MS re Software as a Service.

ROTFL.

Marketing material is aimed at folks who don't have a clue, but control the
purse strings (how scary is THAT!!!).  Big action words to make you
visualize your company earning a billion bucks a week after buying the
product.  Nothing whatsoever as to what it actually does.  I can't even read
the stuff, it simply does not make any sense to me.

I'm trying to find out just what Live Office is, and frankly, not making
much out of the marketing material.

Since it's built on the SharePoint platform, I'm wondering if you have to
actually have SharePoint to use it? If so, I don't see the point of Life
Office -- seems redundant. However, if it allows you to exploit SP without
actually have it, then I can see its use.
