GooglePoint? PowerOogle?
Google -- which, the company swears, is NOT competing against Microsoft, in much the same way as China is NOT competing against the United States -- announced it will introduce a Google-ized version of Microsoft's PowerPoint.
It will be free, so now even the impoverished can bore roomfuls of people with 172-slide presentations.
This just about completes a Google business suite: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Spreadsheet...and now this yet-unnamed PPT clone. If you don't think Google's pared-down, cheap version of office software based on new technology is not a threat to Microsoft's feature-bloated, expensive office software based on old technology...maybe re-read The Innovator's Dilemma.
