Google VS. Microsoft (Round 1)

Update: The reporter from thecouriermail.news.com.au is wrong about this information. Google never announced a free spreadsheet or word-processing software, please disregard!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Today Google officially announced, according to "The Courier Mail" that it will be offering spreadsheet and word processing software, free.

This probably won't be a first-round knockout, but I am sure Google can prevail if they throw their punches right.

What could be next? I think if they add more useful and "cool" features to Google Talk, they could put a serious dent in MSN & Hotmail. Where else does Microsoft make their money?

They make money in their Operating Systems... could OpenSolaris be GoogleOS in the coming years? I wouldn't bet against it!
