I was intrigued to see an article in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Monday describing the "challenge" that Microsoft Office faces from Google's free tools. I don't believe that Google's free tools--Google Apps, which includes Google Docs--represent a technical or financial challenge to Office at all, so I was curious to see whether I had missed something.
If you read the article, you'll discover a lot of speculation and little actual meat. It states that Google Apps "performs similar tasks to Office," which is like saying that a horse and buggy performs similar tasks to a Cessna. The WSJ reports that Google Apps has "gathered steam" in recent years and its users benefit from "reduced costs and administrative hassles" (which I assume means "reduced costs and fewer administrative hassles," but whatever).
