As I wrote, people in the know have been saying that it will be a viable Office competitor in 2010. We'll see. Right now it has incredible integration with AdWords. Benefits are starting to be clear. Linux never took off the way some people thought it would. That's a good point about MS having locked up the PC market. It will be interesting to see what happens when it is Google and not a group of open sourcers who are taking on Microsoft. This might be a real Battle of the Desktop... well, without the desktop.

Currently, Google Docs is so inferior that I rarely consider it unless I need to share something. Anyhow, I think people in our circle would quickly adopt all of this stuff, but as long as Microsoft is in bed with Dell and other computer manufacturers, I can't see a big shift happening. > Rumor is that Google Docs will finally be a viable competitor to MS Office next year.

Currently, Google Docs is so inferior that I rarely consider it unless I need to share something.

Anyhow, I think people in our circle would quickly adopt all of this stuff, but as long as Microsoft is in bed with Dell and other computer manufacturers, I can’t see a big shift happening.
