Web 2.0: Zoho Gears Up
,----[ Quote ]
| A while back I mentioned OpenGoo, a Web-based office suite designed with
| Zoho-like functionality, but which can be hosted on your own servers. When I
| spoke to Zoho chief Raju Vegesna about this, he wasn't terribly worried. Why?
| I asked.

ZoooS Aims for Online Versions of OpenOffice Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| Webware has recently been covering a port to the web of the OpenOffice.org
| suite of productivity applications from ZoooS. If it sounds like it competes
| with Microsoft Office Live, it does in some ways, and it also competes with
| Zoho's large suite of free productivity applications hosted online. From SQL
| databases to spreadsheets and presentations to word processing (although
| applications are only previews at the moment) you'll be able to use ZoooS to
| work online and collaborate with others there. From ZoooS' home page, you'll
| also get a number of other interesting applications.

Office Live, you're no Google Docs
,----[ Quote ]
| Offlice Live does have its own text editor, but it's rather weak and doesn't
| have Google Docs' killer feature: simultaneous editing. If someone edits a
| document you've got open and you then try to save it, you get a conflict
| error and have to decide whose edits you want to kill.

Google Apps tops 1 million businesses

| Almost all of the company's revenue comes from its search engine, which last
| quarter accounted for more than $5 billion. New initiatives, such as the
| Chrome browser, Google Gears, and Google Friend Connect, are focused on
| building a mostly open-source Internet operating system out of Google
| technology in order to funnel more user data and targeted advertising

Microsoft earnings post-mortem: The cash cows quiver
,----[ Quote ]
| I can’t help but wonder if the lackluster Windows/Office results also can be
| attributed to Microsoft brass’s complete and crazy obsession with Google (and
| taking over Yahoo) has resulted in no one minding the Windows store. Kevin
| Johnson, the head of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services division seems to be so
| laser-focused on the online-ad business these days that he almost seems to
| have forgotten Microsoft is still in the software business, too.
|
| Microsoft execs’ claims about walking away from the Yahoo deal are nothing
| more than bluster. A protracted hostile takeover bid is just going to
| distract not just employees in Microsoft’s online services business, but
| company management, too. It’s not a pretty picture.
