VentureBeat: Microsoft Live — too little, too late

  • Alex Zaltsman · 3 years ago
    It would be interesting if either Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft can transcend the consumer market and succeed in providing solutions for businesses. None of these web based products would interest businesses with more then 5 employees. Clearly, they all make it easier for consumers to use interactive technologies online but the feature sets and user interfaces are not rich enough for businesses to dump MS Office or XP on the desktop. The consumers do need a solution, though, and these web apps that the major leagures are offering just may save someone using a PC for home applications from spending $400 for MS Office.
