The war between Microsoft and Google intensifies further as the Microsoft announced new details of plan to offer a free, Web-based version of its Office software today as quoted in the Wall Street Journal The free online offering expected to be ready in the first half of 2010 along with a new version of its conventional software called Office 2010. It is expected to have a much more features and rich user interface than the current web office products from Google etc.
This an interesting moves from the software giant as office is one of the most profitable business units within the Microsoft. But it is a much needed action to crush the gaining popularity of the Google Office products
Also earlier Google has announced the release of its Chrome based operating system which is primarily targeted on the light weight PC’s / Laptops used primarily for browsing. We need to see the impact it makes on the Windows operating system once it is released. Microsoft is already planned to release it is next version OS “Winodws 7” by 22nd October 2009.
Everybody knows Microsoft has already released its new search engine “Bing” to challenge the Google which is an undisputed market leader in Search Engine & Ad Revenue space
As both the giants starting to enter into the core areas of each others, the competition is getting even tougher. It will lead to a healthy competition and we can expect more quality products to benefit the end users.
