Making a 'B' line
Given Microsoft's statements about a hybrid approach, with online and offline products, the company should be ahead of the pack in delivering synchronization between the two modes?but first Ray Ozzie's team needs to deliver a Web Office.

Why should MS come out with a web office? What overall advantages does this bring compared to desktop apps augmented by web services? The biggest advantages I see having a web office, is not having to install an application on your computers, and having to deal with licensing your software to be used on several machines that you own, or wanting to install your app on several virtualized OSs. In virtually every other area, desktop apps plus web surfaces, beat web apps.
