I like Microsoft put office on the internet for free now. Google document is fine but still doesn't beat MS office.

I would be interested in seeing Office 2010's compatibility with online collaboration software like HyperOffice , which have traditionally worked well with the desktop Office suite. There is a natural fit, since people would now be able to collaborate on Office documents without having to depend on the local system having MS Office installed, and also have other productivity software wrapped around (calendars, workspaces, tasks). But i wonder if Microsoft wants this pie for itself, and will develop its own collaboration system.

Can't say I'm such a regular user of each version of Office that I can comment myself (plus I do all of my work writing in Google Docs), but that's definitely something I hear a lot.

Can you elaborate? I don't necessarily agree with Capossellat, but I definitely didn't see that as a statement that I should be pointing and laughing at.

“I thought the whole point [of the software-as-a-service model] was that I didn’t have to download anything,” Capossella said.

Why do you wanna make Capossella look bad? Ah, he deserves it, that's right.

How can a 'Senior Executive' make such a claim? MSFT will have a hard time defending their 'software-plus-services' marketing fail.

In the mean time I'll be enjoying my Feng Office (OpenGoo) free-software-plus-better-plus-easier-plus-much-cheaper-service

Office hasn't really improved much since version 97, and it probably peaked with the 2000/2002 versions in terms of speed and efficiency.

I can't believe MS are wasting time hyping mobile phone access. What a gimmick. The only message most potential customers care about is "We made a mistake with the ribbon so we're going to give users their menus back". Really, Microsoft, for serious office users that is the only thing that matters. Office 2003 was great, btw.

Microsoft not only will keep streak of brilliant product names but will also keep the momentum of IE8 and Windows 7 extremely good reviews.
