Sorry about my horrible English.
Maybe I’m not understanding this technology well but I’d say Microsoft shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Privacy will be the main user concern, no matter what Google PR Machine or Microsoft haters say. Imagine you typing your trade secrets or bank account numbers on their word document or spreadsheet over the internet, just imagine. I get chills all over my body just to think about it. Your data has a chance to be stolen, spied upon, sold, etc. I wouldn’t sleep well at night really. Also, do you trust Google? I sure don’t.
Microsoft should have nothing to fear. Anything to do with the internet is not secure. Maybe college kids writing essays won’t mind using google applications, but no serious company will take such a risk. All you do there would be archived in Google forever. My business is none of their business.
Maybe I’m not understanding this very well. Let me know.
Well i would not trust putting my personal data on a spreadsheet knowing the risks involved. Saying that when we enter information over the internet on sites like ebay etc, there is a risk there too but we still take it. They might bring out a secure server like payments online in aid of it..
Also nothing is safe on the internet? That’s true but weather it is on your computer or online the risks are still there.
I think for now i will stick with open office but who knows

Well I have been using Google Apps for all my employees and pretty OK with the services. Although I have Microsoft Office running with some users, Google made it easy to migrate as well integrates with the Office files.
On a larger scale putting up our data with Google Apps server can be a challange but Google provides support to integrate APIs making software programmers provide security and back up to the data.
I feel this can be a real competition to Microsoft Office in near future.
