The War is on

Google has taken yet another step at declaring war at Microsoft. The Search Engine giant has recently taken many steps to let Microsoft that they are soon to be crown king.

Google release yesterday yet another product, Google Spreadsheet, this new product coupled with its recently acquire Google Word, definitely lets Microsoft that they are after the marketshare of the widely used Microsoft Office.

Now that Microsoft is in a battle with Adobe over PDF issues in the Office suite of products, Google has taken the opportunity to stab another knife into the wound. However, if Google is serious about taking over with an Office Suite, they are going to have to kick it up a notch. Google spreadsheet is far from Excel, I wouldn't even dare compare it to the product as although is efficient and comes bundle with the common formulas, it lacks in both design and functionality.

The bottom line is that, although Google is not quite yet, it is very clear that the monopoly is coming to an end. There's a new kid in town looking to be cool, but is yet to rise to take the bully down. One last note, if you want to be in the front of the line to try Google Spreadsheet, make sure to use your gmail account, it seems google favors its users as I sign up for an invite using another email account and I'm yet to receive it, however, when I used my gmail account, I promptly received an invite within a matter of a couple of hours.
