Is Microsoft Planning on Taking on Google Docs?
There seems to be some speculation out there that Microsoft may be gearing up to go mano-a-mano with Google Docs. You may already know that it is possible to use Microsoft Office 2007 in an App-V environment. But, is Microsoft trying to position this technology to the general public (SaaS)? Possibly. According to some recent posts on virtualization.info, that may (or may not) be Microsoft’s goal. The evidence presented includes some new Office license agreements, and some interesting verbiage on a recent job posting. Plus, Microsoft and Google have been competitors for a while now. I’m not convinced yet that this is pointing to a straight up competition with Google Docs. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what comes of these developments.
