R.I.P.: The Web 2.0 Office Suite | |

For all the hubbub about Web-based alternatives to Microsoft Office, surely someone is using them. Uh-Oh, surely not. In a recent survey, NPD asked nearly 600 PC users: "Have you heard about online, browser-based office productivity applications like Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, gOffice, etc.?" NPD also asked, "If so, how often do you use them?" Ninety-four percent of US consumers have never heard of Web-based productivity suite alternatives. A mere 0.5 percent have substituted Web-based productivity suites for desktop software like Microsoft Office. Chris Swenson, NPD's director of Software Industry Analysis, described the 0.5 percent figure as being a "bit high." Swenson predicted worldwide usage to be even lower than the United States. | ||

LMAO anyone remember all the bashing they had online about how google was going to be the end of Microsoft Office, and how the web based free software was the way of the future....
As i said previously, who the hell wants to use stripped down webapps, hell i dont wanna rely on internet for a spreadsheet or a word document, no i want it to be possible anywhere i am even antartica if i must. |

| Although I believe this technology will never make a meaningful dent in Microsoft Office, i'ts a little premature to call it "Game Over"! |
