[olug] OO.o a threat to MS? 8)

[Craig Wolf]

Anything to put more heat on MS.  Do you think they would have even CONSIDERED putting out the "Home/Student" version of office if it had not been for OO.o??  I can answer that, Hell No!  Google and ZOHO are starting to make them rethink things as well I believe.  
 
It is a fun time to be in Tech!!

All a great step in the right direction.  I realize big instructional
institutions have no reason to teach OO.o if no businesses use it ... and
businesses have a slight PITA switching to it if their employees aren't
trained in it (chicken/egg)...  but I do think the quick start cards and
people willing to offer after-business hour classes is great.  Now all ya
need is some students to teach hehehehe.

I do wish OO.o would take off and gain more ground :/
