Competition for MS Office

For all those who have been condemning the monopoly of MS, here's some solace. The most essential office tools comprising word, presentation and excel are now available on the web. What's incredible is the fact that you can write and save it also. Well, reports (computerworld)suggest that applications currently running on desktops will soon get obsolete. Well, a far fetched thought, you would say. However, with an increasingly mobile workforce that rely on laptops, the writing is on the wall for deskptop established applications. Some of the web-based applications fast gaining prominence include writely,gmail,thinkfree, etc. Guess, it's only a matter of time when these applications will cross the chasm and enter the mature market.
