Empire Strikes Back 2

Today I was very pleased with Habr. No, honestly, I have not had so much fun for a long time, reading one of the articles, namely Google Cloud Connect - the empire strikes back . I just did not understand why she was on a Google blog, and not on Habrayumor. For those who missed everything, a brief storyline: Microsoft was on the verge of survival, and all because Google released the Toolbar, which allows you to synchronize files with Google Docs.

Everyone is already accustomed to the fact that Habr is the universal center of holivarschikov and microsoftware, but this is not the point. No, well, it would seem, good news for everyone (and Microsoft in particular) - now all Google Docs fans can work with it more conveniently (although this awful panel ...) using Microsoft Word, but “empire”, “retaliation "," This is a war in which the strongest will win. " Wow ... given that similar tools have been before.

I am already silent about the OO vs. opposition. Word vs. Google docs This is generally a classic. But I would like to open one more ecumenical conspiracy: Word is not only a text editor.

For example, Word cannot be considered separately from Office, but it also includes Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, etc. And if each component separately can still somehow be noticed, then no one will replace you with complex use. Plus, the integration of Office products from SharePoint, SQL Server, to Visual Studio and TFS - all this is already the norm.

The argument “I don’t have to write much, OO or Google Docs is enough for me” is an ironic and deadly argument. But the whole joke is that if you do not need serious software (in this context, it is not only about Word), then excuse me for my French, you don’t make them serious *. Because more or less difficult task requires serious software and skills to it.

The ability to use business analytics, build OLAP cubes, Data Mining methods, visualize data using Pivot, automatically build graphs, reports, demos, publish articles to blogs - this is a small list of what MS is using now for office. I'm not talking about a bunch of plug-ins that allow almost the design of aircraft to develop directly in Word. And you say Google Docs ...

I am by no means telling all Google Docs users to switch to Word, just let us already tie in with inadequate, or at least publish such articles in the correct humorous blogs.
