re Web Based Office

If I translate the for vs. against into market share, Microsoft is going to get a headache.

Does anyone think this is about technology? At best we would have an editor similar to what we see in blogger.com with a button encouraging download of openoffice. And some type of magical virtualization technology (where have I seen this before?) where you can browse a remote storage site as simply as your own hard drive. Google/Sun takes a bunch of available pieces, hacks them together, and with the Buzz-Generator fills the media with stories of the next greatest thing.

Remember the context. Microsoft announced a short while ago a program identical to Google's adsomethingorother. A direct poke in the cash cow. This stuff is the tat for that tit. They are trying to get a reaction from Microsoft by poking their cash cow.

I despise these games that make up this industry. What I want and need is unimportant in these tectonic battles. Let them all go to hell while I use KOffice, warts and all.
