I write about this often in my blog. Gates & Co. have been clear about taking MS in this same direction. They know they can't miss this paradigm, and thus the "Windows Live" and "Office Live" brands. These are more hype then reality at the moment, but don't underestimate Gates and Microsoft's war chest of $35 billion in cash. I guess what I'm saying is, don't count Microsoft out. In fact, they may be ahead of the curve on this in some areas, notably in the business-management software market. It’s part of the pay-as-you-go, or software-as-a-service paradigm.

Wonder if it'll be easier to include and share spreadsheets now in my blog with Google. (I saw the sleek calculators you made using the spreadsheet converter software, but haven't decided to give up on writing my own just yet. Although I'm probably just in denial about my programming abilities at this point!) Microsoft might take a hit, but it'll be a while. In corporate finance, everyone uses Excel. How long will it take for them to switch over to Google, I wonder? Thanks for the headsup. Wonder if it’ll be easier to include and share spreadsheets now in my blog with Google.

But it will be a battle. Microsoft already has their version, Office Live, in the works. But it will be a battle.
