MS Word to blog, the Google intrusion into the desktop...

It was bound to happen that Google will be a more pervasive entity on our desktops in the coming future. They've got a Word add-in which can publish Word documents directly to a blog. This along with the other things they're doing are making them more ubiquitous than ever, such as GoogleEarth. It's an interesting contest between these two companies as to which will take away space from the other's traditional territory. No one knows for sure yet, but Google seems to have an advantage because of it's agility, not being bogged down by some of the other things that Microsoft must do and support in the OS.

Search was just the beginning of all this change in the software industry, now there are any number of ways that this could morph. In the next few years we won't even recognize search the way we do today, it will be different. We will looks back on these days and think how primitive all this was. But who will be the major players? No one knows anything right now, as things are still in thier infancy believe it or not.
