Time for Microsoft to Start Worrying
,----[ Quote ]
| Behind all this is Google's understanding that the future of software
| lies in Web-based applications. At the moment, Microsoft does not see
| these apps as much of a danger, because most of the current Google
| applications are aimed at consumers instead of enterprise business
| users, the bread-and-butter audience for Microsoft Office and
| related business products.
|
| Over time, though, online applications like Google's will become
| a real threat to Microsoft's Office franchise. Just ask the folks
| at Seibel.
