Some wundergeeks recently unveiled a couple of early versions of a LiveCD release of Google Android. Early and creaky (and thinks it's a phone), but it boots.The problem for Micro$oft is that Google has free (admittedly basic) cloud-based documents including word processing, spreadsheets, etc. And now they are toying with free OSes (Chiefly Chrome OS, but also Android as you see above).
All this must be a little scary if your main source of income is selling people a new (versionwise) Office suite and operating system each year or two.
I think that folks are just about ready to realize that the universe does not revolve around Micro$oft. Shades of Galileo, no?
