blending the mix

I received a simple but cryptic message last night confirming that Google has indeed bought iRows and will be making the announcement TODAY, 6th June 2006.

I seem to remember when Google bought writely, there was a heck of a lot of buzz surrounding what was going to be next in the online office suite and irows looked like the perfect target. Quite why this has taken such a long time to be announced is a surprise, but it was only a matter of time.

That said, with Microsoft’s new Office 2007 beta suite looking prettier than ever, I am beginning to wonder what, apart from online storage, will the impending Google Suite have to offer that Microsoft don’t?
