Al: coming in May. I'm sure you'll hear a LOT more about this company between now and then.

All done in Adobe stuff - that'll be an embedded Flash applet then? Why not use Java? Mind you, ThinkFree released their fully-functional MS Office-rivalling Java suite about six years ago...
TBH I can't see how Ajax based online apps (Zoho, D&S etc.) will ever rival desktop or embedded apps. Javascript just isn't as powerful.

Hi Robert,
We have a demo for local search on mobile that only requires you type in the "Find" request. Our client is able to transmit your current your GPS, Address, Zip code and area code up to the server in real time using nothing more than the browser. Checkout our mobile demo page: http://www.5o9inc.com/mobile.html for more info.
Microsoft needs to have a WPF/e based Office suite. They should even have a verison of Outlook web access running on WPF/e, and make it the default.

It *is* Flash, but it is built with Flex which is worth a day's worth of research of anyone's time (assuming you can code). There is a 30 day trial I believe.

I'm one of those people who does not consider a Flash app to be a "web application", regardless of whether or not HTML is hosting the runtime (which is basically what Flash is in this context) It can do some very cool stuff, and is rather ubiquitous (although I have to disable it; I use Remote Desktop too much, and Flash-enabled sites tend to go so far overboard that my remote session makes Windows feel like GEOS on an underclocked Commodore64), but it can be (and I've run into this issue on several occasions and is a real customer concern) a problem when web users don't expect to have to install software to start working (and at least at my current org, there are a surprising amount of target PCs without Shockwave)

Those keyboard clicks may be telling you how many people are ignoring the demo and doing email.

Shel: nah, I'm filtering for those. Why? Cause that causes a consistent level of clicking. When a killer demo (or something controversial) comes on stage the clicking dramatically increases as people twitter and blog away.

you need to watch out for peoples head nods too - its a sure fire sign. i love it when you even hear them when talking to clients on the phone. head nods and hammering on keys - those are the signs.

OK, talking about word processing, why is this the first one? What about Google Docs?
And I really think, that data protection is an important topic on SaaS-Applications.

Datenschutz: this isn't the first Word processor. It's just the coolest online one I've seen so far.
Catbyte: it's not a Microsoft product.

MS would be insane if they didn't follow suite. It is a very cool demo.

They are missing the best and most influential of times in the blogosphere for a company and especially in an area of new products or applications. Here is a cutting edge technology company that is rolling out some exciting stuff and what are they doing to capitalize?
