Is Microsoft scared of Google? From the looks of things, they might just be terrified.
It’s been long rumored (and often discredited) that Google has plans to launch a web based Operating System as well as an office productivity suite (based on OpenOffice.org). The internet has tons of pictures claiming to be Google Office or Google OS (GooOS even), but no one can vouch for the authenticity of the images. Most likely they are fake images created by someone with too much time.
Looks like Microsoft isn’t taking any chances. They’ve announced Microsoft Office Live and Microsoft Windows Live. Funny thing is, when I visit the “live site” it crashed Internet Explorer.
Now it’s time to see what Google plans to do. If anything.
