Gates memo warns of 'disruptive' changes

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 was talking about this today with one of our IS people. Simple
answer is it won't work for many and a pain for others. My
Mother-in-law does allot of writing. Even though she has DSL, she
only connects when she is browsing. She uses a USB connection instead
of the network connection.
I would hate to be that student working on my term paper that needs to
be handed in tomorrow when the network connection goes down due to a
problem with one of the many hops that I have to work through.
It is easier to download OOo and get to work. Heck, I can take my
laptop anyplace and work. Forget about having to find a wireless link.
