While Google Apps will do well, the base for Office is so large that the incentive to switch won't be strong enough to get users to change platforms.

Google apps is free... and though previously u needed an internet connection (tho now net is not an hindrance in an emerging country like India), they have now come up with google offline. So piracy is not an issue anyhow.. The fact is home users...

Beyond technology, the real battle is won through marketing muscle. Thats where MS scores more. Rome was not built in a day and its true for MS as well. Some solid Google related talks are going to happen in March in Bangalore at Spark IT 2010....

Microsoft Corp co-founder Paul Allen relaunched a wide-ranging patent lawsuit against Apple Inc, Google Inc, Facebook and others with specific allegations that the companies are illegally using technology owned by his firm. Interval Licensing LLC, a small research company set up by Allen in 1992, originally filed a broad patent suit in federal court in Seattle in August, but Judge Marsha Pechman dismissed it on the grounds that it did not specify any actual products or devices. The revised suit was filed by Interval on Tuesday. Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975, claims Interval was central to research and development of technology in the Internet arena i...

Intensifying efforts to build its e-mail and cloud computing business, Google Inc. has taken the federal government to court to change a bidding procedure that it says favors rival Microsoft Corp. Google, which has been battling Microsoft across the country to gain a foothold in the $20-billion office software market, sued the U.S. Department of the Interior, alleging that it excluded Google’s bid to offer the e-mail system to the 88,000 employees throughout the agency. According to the lawsuit, filed Friday in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the department specified that in replacing its older e-mail system, it would consider software from Microsoft only. For several years, Google has b...

Microsoft is hiring up to 500 sales reps for its public-sector cloud-computing solutions to add more firepower to its intensifying competition with Google for the hundreds of millions—and potentially billions—of government dollars being pushed into the cloud. In a news article on the site crn.com, Microsoft's Vince Menzione, general manager for partner strategy in the US public sector, said 'We are changing up our message to customers' and underscored the company's end-to-end commitment to cloud computing: Read Full Story: http://informationweek.in/Cloud_Computing/10-06-16/Microsoft_is_hiring_500_cloud_specialists_to_battle_Google.aspx

Google seems to be developing a rival to the Apple iPad. It has shown mockups of a tablet device running its own Chrome operating system. A video and some pictures showing a mock-up of the Google Chrome OS running on a tablet device have been posted on the search company’s Chromium Website. Glen Murphy, Google Chrome’s UI lead designer has designed the concept himself The mockups show a possible tablet device with an on-Screen keyboard and a touch interface. It also depicts an outstanding thing that the Apple iPad seems to lack - the ability to multi-task. This Google Chrome Tablet device will be able to launch multiple browsers at the same time and might also prove to be a fantastic...

The smartphones we carry around today are pretty smart. They can already do a lot of things and usually do exactly what we tell them to do. And the recent improvements in user interfaces are making the process of telling your smartphone what to do better and better. So now the R D labs at major cellphone/OS vendors are dabbling on another frontier. Making your handset understand what you are doing at any moment of time, anticipate what you will do next, and conform to your wishes even before you thought of that. Some of these efforts, like integration between calendar and the mapping apps , the automatic syncing with the cloud in WebOS Synergy, or automatic broadcasting of your status and ...

Monday, December 21, 2009 at 4:57 PM ET Posted by Jonathan Rosenberg, Senior Vice President, Product Management i came across this post and found it very interesting !! Ps give in your comments in the end :) Last week I sent an email to Googlers about the meaning of 'open' as it relates to the Internet, Google, and our users. In the spirit of openness, I thought it would be appropriate to share these thoughts with those outside of Google as well. At Google we believe that open systems win. They lead to more innovation, value, and freedom of choice for consumers, and a vibrant, profitable, and competitive ecosystem for businesses. Many companies will claim roughly the same thing since they k...

Yes they are going to be here.. and the first destination is Bangalore... Google cars and trikes will begin driving and taking street level photographs of public locations around the city. The images will be made available at a later date in Street View on Google Maps. Street View is a popular feature of Google Maps , already available in more than 27 countries. It allows users to virtually explore and navigate a neighborhood through panoramic street-level images. It is also available on Google Maps for mobile. In countries where Street View is available, the user can access street-level imagery by zooming into the lowest level on Google Maps, or by dragging the orange "Pegman" icon on the left-hand side of the map onto a blue highlighted street. In addition to the cars, the Google Trike - a specially designed three-wheel pedi-cab with a camera system mounted on top - will start gathering images from select locations in the area such as the Nrityagram Dance Village over the next...

Yet, Google + could not get healthy feedback as it was expecting as well as also could not attract users as compared other social media rivals. As well, despite of unique innovative concept of G+ , users were not satisfyinng of usage they were getting inconvenience during operating. However, G + has already crossed 90 millions subscribers within short spsan of time.But, as a part of social media the important thing is that how much time is being spent by users on G+ against rivals Facebook, tiwtter, Klout etc. And, overall users are not spending that much time on G+ as compared to other rivals.
