Microsoft to Kill Google Docs? - FrugalTech

PDC was pretty busy if you—that’s the Professional Developers Conference Microsoft host one of those. Every time they’re getting ready to typically rule out a new platform, and kind of go in all that right now. But one of the items discussed at the PDC was Microsoft, very, very intent and going after Google Docs. And they’re going to do that by web converging Microsoft Office the new version which should this codename Office 14 to now we only have a software that you install in your PC but also hosting the cloud just like Google Docs. They want to go told to tell as Google Docs. They got some real advantage as being Microsoft one of those is the file format compatibility for example. I don’t know what the causes I’ve heard that is going to be basically maybe two versions a paid version and then an add supported version I don’t know about that, but what was reported is that Microsoft just you know the revival Google, but they want and kill it off. That’s the bottom line, they want kill off Google Docs and they did a demo at the PDC of Microsoft One Note running on the web and compared it out with the PC version and having people working seem mostly collaborating on notes and that sort of thing. They work very, very, very well. So they called “Webification” The webification of office promises a function that goes beyond what Microsoft they already offers as Google alternatives and this existing Windows life program. In fact, Microsoft says label the office apps via Office Live. The beauty of this approach and why it may actually succeed and when in conversion—at Microsoft starts the web competition with the big event in terms of powerful message as I said earlier. Now the release goes on to say we don’t know when Microsoft plans to release the next version of Office although if it’s history is any indication it shouldn’t be too long after Windows 7 so about January early 2010 you’ll see Windows 7 coming out and then you’ll probably see the web version of Microsoft Office coming out there. And I think this is really—you know we’ve talk lot about cloud based computing and moving stuff in the clouds. I say this is an attract way for your business to save a lot of money going to the subscription base or even an advertising supported version of Office if your needs are fairly light. But if you need a sophisticated feature that Office is going to have from Office then probably you won’t do your whole lot a good, but really more and more things are going to moved up of the desktop and the installation on the desktop or the server and leaving the clouds. It’s going to save you money. It’s going to make you more productive or certainly it’s going to help you ram up quicker and complete more effect on the big guys. I am for the most part in favor of much cloud based computing as practical. But you know you can like couple this with the story earlier about how companies or going to be capping a broad band use I think that’s kind of interesting. I believe that with these ISPs that I don’t want to cap to use if you have a business class IE and more expensive account then you’ll get the data. I hope so because if not I can say we’re a busy company. A lot of employees using things like Skype for telephone service and go to meeting for web presentations and they’re using Microsoft and Office Live or Google Docs or whatever. And see where they can really start filing up the usage on their broadbands. I thought that was kind of interesting.

John Henry "Doc" Holliday's final words, spoken as he lay dying in the Hotel Glenwood in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, were "this is funny". We'll never know, of course, exactly what the Wild West legend meant by this. Perhaps he found it ironic that a
