There is a natural fit, since people would now be able to collaborate on Office documents without having to depend on the local system having MS Office installed, and also have other productivity software wrapped around (calendars, workspaces, tasks). But i wonder if Microsoft wants this pie for itself, and will develop its own collaboration system.

I don't necessarily agree with Capossellat, but I definitely didn't see that as a statement that I should be pointing and laughing at. Can you elaborate?

Why do you wanna make Capossella look bad? Ah, he deserves it, that's right.

How can a 'Senior Executive' make such a claim? MSFT will have a hard time defending their 'software-plus-services' marketing fail.

In the mean time I'll be enjoying my Feng Office (OpenGoo) free-software-plus-better-plus-easier-plus-much-cheaper-service

What a gimmick. The only message most potential customers care about is "We made a mistake with the ribbon so we're going to give users their menus back". Really, Microsoft, for serious office users that is the only thing that matters. Office 2003 was great, btw. I can't believe MS are wasting time hyping mobile phone access. What a gimmick.
