It’s a power in the cloud super weekend!
First the BusinessWeek cover story yesterday. Then the NYT today, in a report on MS vs. Google by By Steve Lohr and Miguel Helft.
It includes this gem from Eric Schmidt, when asked if Google thinks 90 percent of computing will eventually reside in the cloud:
“In our view, yes,” [CEO Eric] Schmidt says. “It’s a 90-10 thing.” Inside the cloud resides “almost everything you do in a company, almost everything a knowledge worker does.”
As Dave Girouard, the general manager of Google’s enterprise business, says: “If you’re creating a complex document like an annual report, you want Word, and if you’re making a sophisticated financial model, you want Excel. That’s what the Microsoft products are great at. But less and less work is like that.”
