Google’s Docs is for playing around, for business users MS products are still the best.

Google needed years to INTEGRATE an existing application (Writely), MS started a couple of months ago and it looks like Writely / Google Docs does now…

it’s funny how Erick called Microsoft slow moving when they launched their beta product in 2 months…..how about google man….they launched docs and spreadsheets more than a year ago and it still sucks….ever comment on that….or is it Papa Arrington’s policy not to say anything against google else your page rank might suffer…..

“It’s painful to watch Microsoft wake up slowly to the threat posed by a growing gaggle of Web-based office productivity software”–C’mon, that’s the great thing about the new world: Microsoft is, slowly, dying. It’s not going to the deadpool, but it will become IBM-ized. Microsoft is becoming a rather unimportant creature that once defined all existence.

Your bias against mentioning or linking to Buzzword is, to me, incredible, and sad.

Setelah diumumkan Oktober kemarin, sehubungan rencana Microsoft untuk berbagi dokumen secara online, sekarang Office Live mempunyai dua layanan, yaitu Office Live Small Business dan Office Live Workspace.,

“MS owns the office space for a reason: they have the most powerful and easy to use tools available today.”

-Ah, yeah they may “own” the market, but it’s by no means because it’s either the most powerful and definitely not the easiest to use (in fact the two today are almost mutually exclusive).

“Now, how many of those Office users really need to share those documents real-time outside of their company’s walls? A small fraction. As the need evolves, so will MS. Supporting the MAC will occur when it is justified by the numbers.”

-Spoken like a true MS communist. When you follow the masses, then you can be one of the…masses. Sorry, but at my huge company and in my small consulting jobs, we share more than ever today, and these are “expected” tools today. In fact, at big co today we use MS sharepoint (switching soon to a non MS product) and in my small co things, we use Google and zoho. As for the Mac snide remark, even my huge co now lets me buy Macs again, so please go get real.

“Eric: Have you ever run a business of any scale? Your writings continue to be steeped in idealism rather than sound business fundamentals.”

-Nothing wrong with idealism June, it’s how this country got started, not by following the masses. In fact, let’s see, where is the Soviet Union today? What state is China in today politically? Hmmm, yeah, idealism sucks.

Google spreadsheets are good for collaboration but we send word docs around via email. I still think the battle ground will be around spreadsheets not the whole Office suite.
