Gates memo warns of 'disruptive' changes
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5940792.html?tag=nl.e589
In a memo to top company executives, the software giant's chairman ponders
the challenges posed by a host of online competitors.
It seems MS is more worried about Writely - http://www.writely.com/ - than
it is about OpenOffice.org.
That's not a slam against OOo, merely a suggestion that a online version of
OOo (like, perhaps, the one Google is developing) would be a good idea right
about now.

I don't think writely.com or windows live or office live will be
replacing OOo in my office any time soon. I know that you can speculate
that it might, but it won't.
We like having our software run locally and having our data local, not
on someones server somewhere in internetland. Just imagine someone you
don't know filtering through your company data without your knowledge.
It could happen if you give someone else control over your data.
