GOOGLE & SUN OFFICE: THE WORLD CHANGES THIS WEEK

[Oct 4, 2005] Google & Sun are to announce an Office Suite based on OpenOffice, and accesible via webbrowser, according to Jonathan Schwartz --President and COO of Sun Microsystems-- (the original title of his post was "The World changes this week").

It's probably the beginning of the WebOS, an Operating System based on the Web.

UPDATED: Some interesting links: :: Sun president: PCs are so yesterday :: Google Office wishlist: seamless Web storage, great built-in search, integration with other Google tools, a truly better user interface, true browser-based operation :: Some web-based Office tools: Kiko, Num Sum, Writely.

UPDATED 2: Google and Sun had agreed to a multi-year pact to distribute Sun's software technologies that offer a potential alternative to Microsoft's dominance of business users' desktops. These technologies are 'Java Desktop' and 'OpenOffice'.

Go cry to your mama again if you want, it's all you really know how to do other than call me names. As far as the adult discussion, you never even whiffed it.

You go right on telling yourself that, Buzzy. Just remember that it's not my posts that are getting yanked for childish content. It's your posts.

Not that you seem to notice...but what the hey. I'm not above reminding you, sport.

Now do what comes natural, Buzzy...cry, stamp your feet, throw a tantrum.
