| Web-based Office suite will hurt Microsoft

A web-based office suite, maybe partially powered by Ajax will eventually
kill Microsoft’s cash cow office.
It will take 5 years, as one has to get all right. The fast intuitive UI,
the security, the marketing and many other things. Looking at a big
company, most people only use:
- Browser
- Calendaring app
- Word
- Excel
- Powerpoint
Why did openoffice not have a wider impact so far? Can a web-based suite
win without entering the "comopatability/file format" war?
Have a nice and long weekend. It’s the last two days of the
Oktoberfest, so I am preparing for some beer.
