INTERNET search engine Google has declared war on Microsoft, announcing plans to launch free spreadsheet and word-processing software online. Google has joined forces with US-based technology giant Sun Microsystems to allow web users to access Sun's OpenOffice from any personal computer. Sun will offer Google's search toolbar with downloads of its free Java software, which now powers more than 2.5 billion gadgets around the globe, including 700 million PCs. Sun Microsystems Australia spokesman Paul O'Connor said the deal was "huge". "Worldwide, Google gets 80 million visitors a day," he said. | ||

Click HERE to download the Google Toolbar (437k). Uncheck here if you do not want the optional OpenOffice install (90MB). TL |

| Why would I want to use (Google) Office online, when I can use OpenOffice (or MS Office) from my local hard drive? What's the point? |

| Competition is a good thing. For those that don't need a 1000bhp Office Productivity app this may be just right. It will also stimulate new ideas on how and where apps should run and be supported. |

competition is good for consumers. innovation is good for consumers. ms of all companies has never shied away from blistering competition (don’t worry about ms i.e. don’t sell your stock until after vista arrives). even so i suggest accumulating google at $300 per share. |
