New Office Threat Appears on the Horizon (Client Server News)

Well, by the looks of it, Microsoft is fated to suffer an updated, 21st century, technological version of the legendary Chinese torture – death by a thousand paper cuts.

On the heals of Google buying software-as-a-service start-up Upstartle LLC and its Writely.com beta word processor a couple of weeks ago – which has got to rattle Microsoft’s cage considering it’s Google – Michael Robertson, the guy who started Linspire, née Lindows, the Linux operating system company that managed to defy logic and cop a $20 million settlement out of Microsoft after Microsoft sued it for trademark infringement – talk about the world being topsy-turvy – has just unveiled a thing called ajaxWrite – his idea of an software-as-service alternative to Microsoft’s vaunted cash-cow Office software.
