Will Microsoft and the emerging contenders be able to really give Google a run for their apps?
Actually, for most serious users, I think in the end Microsofts strategy will be enough to keep most people with them and buying Office, which is all they seem to care about. Its interesting that Adobe should try to enter this market...its not traditionally been a strength of theirs. Your original post seems to indicate that you think Google apps is dominant, but I question that assumption. Even gmail isnt that dominant in the email space and I would guess that only a small number of techies and innovators are the ones experimenting with their apps. I use gmail, but via Outlook...I would imagine a large % of users out there are like me.
In the end most users are comfortable with desktop apps....now those desktop apps just need to learn smarter collaboration and that will be the winning strategy. Which is why I think Softie will win this one for now..

At the desktop front, microsoft has the edge with having to only include seamless online cap[abilities to make their products sync with the webware age. Microsoft has been at the receiving end when it comes to patching and covering up major security issues. Google on the other hand has never been so much under the security radar. And appealing to the enterprises is all about the security game as well. If Google can prove that their processes and applications are better equipped at ensuring security, Microsoft's real down fall begins.
