Confusion over the news that Google and Sun want Office users, had me wondering why would the page 3 tabloid want to tie up with Google?
Of course, reading the story, and further announcements today on other future deals clears it up.
We're using a lot of Java at work at the moment, developing solutions for Primavera integration using their API. And after the other week's technical training, there's more to come on that front, with developments to encompass .NET and more general Microsoft-based web services. So it's encouraging reading the plans, that there could well be some serious competition for MS Office at last. Sure, they do do some nifty software, but there's always bits which never quite do what they should. And without a viable alternative, there's not really much force to exert to get the bugs fixed, now, is there?
