Re: Competition
"You know that isn't true. They didn't start from zero. They started with a near monopoly in office productivity."
None of which was in the cloud. They have build and sold a new product in O365 - and done it better than Google.
Before Microsoft had O365, Google were taking significant customers from Microsoft. Now days very few large companies are choosing Google Apps over O365
When people make the decision to move to Office 365 of course they would consider alternatives as there is significant effort and investment involved. Google are now loosing that battle by a long long way. And the primary reason is that O365 is simply a far better more complete and enterprise grade solution. That it's a familiar interface and that complex documents, Macros etc. actually work with O365 of course helps but as above - when Google had a better product it was selling. Now they don't and it isn't...
