'GoogleOffice': A Microsoft Office Killer?



To hear Sun, Google and the Anything But Microsoft campers tell it, Microsoft Office will be officially toast any day now.

I say they're wrong. But not because Microsoft Office — even with 90+ percent of the desktop office suite market share to its credit — is unbeatable.

Even though Sun and Google did not, as many predicted, announce this week a "GoogleOffice," pundits say it's only a matter of time before the pair could hatch such an animal.

Whenever — and if ever — Sun and Google deliver a light-weight, fast, cheap Web-based Office alternative, Microsoft Office will not be its primary competitor, however. Instead, the growing collection of MSN Services, especially the pending "Kahuna" Hotmail upgrade and Microsoft's as-yet-unannounced hosted SMB collaboration bundle, will be what the Redmondians pit against the new "StarOffice in the sky" offering.

Microsoft Office is a "smart" (a k a, fat, bloated — choose your beefy synonym of choice) client. It's not meant to run over the Web. Ask folks who've tried using a hosted version of Office. It's a slow and painful experience.

Outlook Web Access and Kahuna (the Hotmail/Outlook Web Access successor, also known as MSN Mail) are Ajax applications. They were designed from the get-go as Web apps.

Kahuna is currently in a small private beta test. The Kahuna team, which has been blogging and Channel 9ing its way into visibility, has said to expect Kahuna to look nothing like Hotmail. The app will look and feel a bit like Outlook, but will be faster, simpler and safer than its predecessor, team members have said. No word yet on when it will go live or how it will be distributed or packaged. But it will be a "brand new service," the team members promise.


Kahuna isn't the only potential competitor to a Google Office. Sources have said to expect a new hosted collaboration suite aimed at small/mid-size business customers to launch under the MSN banner some time soon. The bundle will include e-mail, unified messaging, instant messaging, VOIP and data-conferencing capabilities all rolled into a single, hosted collaboration suite, partners told Microsoft Watch.


With its latest reorg, and its decision to unify the platforms and MSN services teams into a single division, the Microsoft brass put in place a structure better suited to defend against Sun/Google-style partnerships and their associated services offerings.


It's not clear to me that Microsoft's combined platform and services unit is ready to go on the offensive, however. Kahuna is Microsoft's answer to Gmail and other Web mail programs. The forthcoming MSN SMB collaboration suite is a hedge against eBay/Skype. Is there a hot technology arena where Microsoft has fielded a new product first over the past few months and others are scrambling to catch up? I am coming up blank.

Help me out here, readers. Point me to a place where Microsoft has Google and other competitors on the run. And, while you're at it, how about firing over some suggestions for services you think Microsoft's combined platforms/services division should field in the next year or two to combat the perception that the old Microsoft dog can't learn any new tricks.

Talk back below or write me at mswatch@ziffdavis.com and
let me know what you think.

mmille10 :

Palm appeared ubiquitous and unbeatable in the PDA market during the 90s, but Microsoft has had Palm on the run in handhelds for a few years now, until they partnered recently.

mmille10 :

High profile officials of both Sun and Google are on the record as saying they don't see a web office suite as being practical. Google has said it will make contributions to OpenOffice, but they haven't said what. As I've read other bloggers, the best suggestion I've seen is that a company like Google isn't going to "try to compete with the past" (ie. MS Office suite), but rather forge new ground where MS Office can't follow, or will be inefficient, particularly in collaboration. That's the most plausible suggestion I've seen.

Dean :

What lucky people we are......but dont go rushing out to the shops just yet.

Seriously, as soon as I saw the address being in Harlesden, I was suspicious. It's a grime part of north-west london and microsoft would never dream of owing such address.

Just called the number and received an agressive african man. I just called him to sincerely thank him very much for the opportunity of winning this cash. "Just send in the 'kin email with the details!" As was his response. I think I'd rather be poor and happy!

JD :

Good God you guys! If it's not apparent to you by now that this is a scam you're not seeing all of the clues. I too received the e-mail for GoogleUK give-aways. Several giveaways (no pun intended)are obvious. 1: The author's english is like reading a tech manual for electronics written by an employee in Taiwan in the 1980s. 2: Similar promotions with different companies all celebrating their anniversary with the same promotion? Come on! 3: No company would require payment to receive the award. 4: If you were representing a corporation your e-mail address would be name@company.com (or something similar), and certainly not an e-mail address of your competitors. If you were foolish enough to give these guys your personal information then I suggest you go to the website of one of the big three credit agencies and have a block put on your credit. This is a very transparent fishing expedition, and if they con you out of your hard earned cash, that's a bonus.

tanya :

Yes, just like everyone above me i also received the same email but with a different amount of money is that email even true at all or just some spaming? please email the reply to me....thanks!

azni rafieze :

These people try to milk money from people. They spend nothing on this and send to many- may be million.Out of this even if 10% responds atleast 1% will end up paying $500. they will vanish.
we must learn to identify the pattern of these operators and the country police from which these crimes originate should take action.

I recieved the same email as Michael Wethey. I am emailing Mr Hooper regarding my prizes so I can get more information on this so called promotion. I asked him for a personal guarentee that this is for real or a scam of course he claimed it was for real and that something like this only happens once in a lifetime. If I felt so strongly I did not have to send for my prizes. I sent him another email asking how many winners for the same prize. I will keep you posted. I am just wondering if anybody out there truly knows if this is a scam or is it.

Respected sir,

I have also received the above E-mail with every charecter matching. weather it can be true or not?
I mean the every charecter in the winning details are the same...

If this is a spam then is there any way out to stop such activities??

the people who have less knowledge about the web world can be a easy victim of such attempts...please enlighten on such topics...waiting for your positive reply

Norty :

Hi Abhishek / Gul - The mail is a fraud and called nigerian advance fee scam. There is a good knowledge of the cases above and other websites, however, you can only identify the fraud by using web search tools. It is a sad story but if we all join hands and devote sometime personally to fight against this it will be very nobel work.

Option 2. Courier Delivery Service:
Have our affiliate International Delivery Company sends your winnings at the comfort of your home.Be advised that if you opt for your Cheque to be couriered to you maybe due to your inability to use the option 1 above, Google Give-away payment processing agents however exempts itself from all liabilities/expenses related to this service. In agreement with our policy in this regard, The cost of this service would be borne by you; this is a prerequisite for this option. If you intend using this option, you will be referred to our International Courier Delivery company for information about Shipment and Cost. The reason for the courier option is to help winners who are non-resident of the United Kingdom and who are unable to make their way to our disbursement centre here in UK to get their prize personally.

This is the condition attached to this option aswell. This option is fast and more reliable if you don't mind the Cost of Transfer charge that will be involved. NOTE again that it is against our policy/ Law for your fund to be tempered or deducted by any of our paying agents (Delivery Company & Bank) before it finally gets to you. We shall forward your fund to our paying Bank and direct you to Bank if you are willing to use this option so you may get full information to guide you on what to do.
