Google: Media Play or IT Investment?
,----[ Quote ]
| In my opinion (as well as others'), its office productivity software
| lacks the breadth and width of the market leader. Schmidt hinted at
| Google's preference for open source software [OSS] so maybe it can
| come up with some better way parlaying Sun's OpenOffice than last
| year's PRware (OpenOffice still falls short of Microsoft's
| ubiquitous products).

100,000,000 OpenOffice.org fans can't be wrong
,----[ Quote ]
| Simon's official response explained the business rationale behind
| offering support for OpenOffice.org: "OpenOffice.org has becomep
| henomenally successful, Sun alone has shipped more than 70 million
| copies of OpenOffice.org 2.0," he said. "Out there, there
| are maybe 100 million copies of OpenOffice.org. It would be
| senseless to ignore that opportunity."
