Microsoft considering web based products
Microsoft, in stiff competition with Google, has been thinking that it should release its Microsoft Works as an online tool. Google, which has an online word processing program and now spreadsheets is finding it hard to compete.
Microsoft will now face a “two-sided” sword in the respect that Google could be gaining popularity from its free offerings, but if Microsoft releases an online version of Word and Excel how would the company make money? Microsoft Office is the biggest money maker for Microsoft and offering a fully compatible free online version could hurt itself and might not be worth the risk.
