This week’s “faceoff” on Mashable is between Microsoft Office and Google Docs. While we’ll share with you the final results soon, so far, many of you seem to think that Docs is a viable alternative to Microsoft’s long dominant Office suite.
And, Google thinks so too, at least within the next year or so. The company’s President of enterprise products tells ZDNet Asia that Docs will push 30-50 updates in that time, at which point he believes the web-based office suite would be capable of serving the “vast majority’s needs.”
Of course, Microsoft isn’t going to sit quietly while that’s happening. Office 2010 looks to bring Microsoft’s web and collaboration capabilities up to par with the likes of Google Docs, and offer them for free to anyone with a Windows Live account.
