I don’t think Office will become the next Netscape at least not in the revenue side of things. Microsoft can still build its own online version of office, they have the name and customer base, I personally don’t think Google can do them any harm there.
I will make a point here since this article refers to one great tool death.
Google should get busy building product they can sell and expand their revenue base. The rule of all trends is that, time and evolution always takes over. Microsoft remains powerful for all these years because the revenue source is extremely diversified. Once Microsoft takes over Yahoo they will have the strength to give Google a real hard time on their turf; mo matter how cool Google is, they make money because people LIKE them. What happen when people stop liking them? Remember all great Tools, Musicians, Politicians fade over time. It’s just a matter of time before people like another search engine.
I think Google should look at apple with iTunes, iPod, iPhone a range of products that actually brings in money.
