Microsoft May Beat Goffice or other web 2.0 applications! | |
|

After the release of Online Office 2007 Trial, there are certainly possibilities where Microsoft (if they plan) can simply beat Google and other Web 2.0 Office products without any problems. If we notice that the test service provided by Microsoft gives almost each and every feature of Microsoft Office and that too online! What Microsoft Can Do To Beat Others ? Well, If at all, Microsoft links this service to the Live Accounts and starts to provide the office for free or for a nominal charge then I am sure that there will be a flood of people who'll use the service and will never whine about Microsoft Products. Without a doubt, Microsoft Office is the best office application ever and it is being developed from many years and anyone will love to use the service without any problems, provided Microsoft starts to think in this manner. | ||

Actually it has ALL of the features of Office, because it IS office.
This is not an online version of office, but a Citrix (like Terminal Services) connection to an actual machine containing Office 2007 so users can see what its like. They would need one machine per user in the world to make this available to everyone, which is obviously not their intention. |

"They would need one machine per user in the world to make this available to everyone".
You can theoretically get 400-600 Office users on one Terminal Server box (with 4P or more and 16GB to 32GB or ram) Say $6000 per box. 10$ a simultaneous user. Since Microsoft doesn't have to pay for Office or TS CAL's ... not a bad business proposition. (Of course there would data center costs etc etc) This post was edited by NotParker on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at 20:00. |
