OK, it's official. Google is seriously entering the office space. They've just purchased Writely, an online word processor. Here's a link to the official Google release.
I have my speculations as to where this is going. Ballmer recently stated that OpenOffice is 10 years behind MS Office, because now it's all about collaboration, not just documents.
Well, having an online office suite, including email (for your domain), calendar, word processing and probably more, coupled with infinite storage will be enough to win over many a business. And they'll be able to spider our documents, and deliver us relevant advertising at the same time.
