Why Microsoft Office Web Is Good for Its Competitors
Microsoft Office on the web is likely to disappoint — unless you're an online productivity suite competitor.
The early takes on Microsoft Office 2010 on the desktop look good. The Fluent interface is getting some nice refinements and Microsoft is punching up PowerPoint by nodding to some of the features available in Apple’s Keynote. On the desktop, Office looks like a nice upgrade (though whether the refinements will be enough to justify the as-yet-unpublished upgrade costs is another matter). But the reality is web apps are where the action is, and despite the hype, Microsoft's web strategy is likely to disappoint — unless you're an online productivity suite competitor.
