POPSToo Lazy For Microsoft Office Henry Blodget nails it. Open-source ideologues have railed for years against Microsoft's lock on the office productivity market. Many of them have even eschewed Microsoft's Office suite in favor of open-source alternatives.... But Microsoft never had a problem until now, when the online alternatives are so easy, and so accessible, many of us are just too lazy to reach for the credit card and spring for $150 worth of software from Microsoft.

POPSGoogle Loosens Microsoft's Grip On BlackBerry Users Nice overview by Om Malik of Google's slick new Sync software, which neatly links the calendar on your Blackberry to Google's calendar application.

POPSBlodget On Google's Threat to Microsoft Blogdet makes a great point here. Google's online apps are pretty crude, and yet they're a real threat to Microsoft's much more sophisticated desktop offerings.

It disrupts its own business every time it rolls out a new, more complex version of Word. I've got to admit, I can't really use the latest version of Word -- and rather than just gutting it out with the new program -- I just pop open my browser, cruise on over to Google Docs, and get to work.
