VentureBeat: Talking points memo: Chrome OS vs Office 2010

  • sample032 · 5 months ago
    Why Microsoft should really say is that Chrome OS isn't even released, so those aren't features, they're goals. The problem is mentioning this would make it look like Microsoft sees Chrome as a serious threat. You didn't see Apple trying to burst Android's bubble, did you?

    I don't think this article makes sense. In reality, it boils down to this- As long as you need windows to run Office and every major global business insists on using Office for compatibility, then MS is still safe and chrome won't mean a thing. Open Office remains busted useless junk when it comes to compatibility and google docs is just as bad for all the same reasons. Oracle is a stupid lumbering arrogant juggernaut that will simply crush open office for the malignant joy of it. I keep finding this funny, it's been funny since about 2000. Other than the geeklords (like you and me) *most* people use computers for actual real work, which means the office productivity platform is the central driver for desktop adoption, somehow executives at Sun, Oracle and Google just don't seem to understand that.
