Of course if you see Google’s past achievements, their products are all internet based. Never PC based like Microsoft Office.

Even with Office having more Net features, they will never be able to compete with a Google-Office app that’s internet based. That’s one killer app !! It WILL materialise… I am confident of it

However, under the agreement of latest collaboration between Sun and Google, Sun has actually granted Google the rights to customize and develop on OpenOffice.

This time, Google’s move is not focusing on offering standalone office application; but instead, something like an online and web-based office application which promotes collaboration

I’ve posted further information on this issue in my blog. Feel free to visit.
