Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key Will Web-based o

In defending its decision to not subject (a minimum of to date) a Web-based edition of Workplace,Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, Microsoft officials generally play the "offline" card. No one will want to use Google Apps,Office 2007 Serial, Zoho, Zimbra or (insert your favorite Web-based productivity pack here) because they don't allow users to work offline. It looks like that argument is about to fly out the window (no pun intended), given recent announcements by Zimbra et.al, that they are releasing offline-capable versions of their suites/browsers/tools. So what will be Microsoft's retort? Will Microsoft bow to pressure and lob a Web-ified edition of Office into the crowd? After all, Microsoft already has an offline workplace solution (Microsoft Office). Microsoft has the opposite problem that its competitors do: It needs an online offering that will sync up with its fat-client product. In spite of the growing raft of announcements around offline-Web-office solutions, I still don't think Microsoft is going to release a Web-based edition of Office. (A Web-ified Microsoft Works — maybe; a Web-ified Microsoft Office — no.) Instead, as noted last week, I think the Softies will espouse a different solution: Release hosted versions of Exchange Server and SharePoint Server. This will give users — primarily small-and mid-sized customers — who are interested in Web-based hosted email,Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, document-management and portal wares. Supplement these with some of the Office Live services that are out there,Windows 7 Product Key, mix in some of the Windows Live products (instant messaging, blogging tools, etc.), toss in a hosted edition of Microsoft's Live Meeting conferencing service, and Microsoft would be able to claim it has an online/offline solution just as robust, ifnot more so,Microsoft Office 2007 Key, than those of its competitors.
