Microsoft Office 2010 Is Looking Good

Honestly never thought I would mutter these words, but from what I am seeing thus far from Office 2010, Microsoft has made a wise move. Releasing their own Google App competition to the Web in 2010, designed to be a free, light-weight option for those interested in using Microsoft Office without the price tag attached.

What surprised me is that the early reviews state that this version will work in most popular web browsers! Wow, does this mean that Microsoft is finally getting that aliening non-Windows users and those who prefer Firefox is really counter-productive? It would sure seem like it. I also like the fact that overall layout of the software appears be vastly better looking than that of Google Docs.

To be fair, it is little more than an idea with some developers giving a select few a sneak preview. And that is fine. But if this release looks half as good as it sounds, this could very well be the first time I find myself giving MS Office a second look in a VERY long time.
