Update to the Microsoft-Google ware-war

Watching Google Inc. rake in advertising revenue was a wake-up call within Microsoft

But Microsoft has yet to offer a cohesive package of programs that run over the Internet instead of from a PC. Ozzie gave little indication of what might be coming, or when. Meanwhile, Google has expanded beyond searches to offer free, Web-based programs similar to Microsoft's mainstays, Word and Excel.


There is a sea change going on in the industry. If the boat gets rocked, the sailors get wet. If it gets rocked too hard then some people fall overboard.
