Target the non-users and light users first with a cheaper and more convenient product, then gradually add features until you match the incumbent. Of course Google is adding a bunch of features that Microsoft never really had, so perhaps it's more of a Blue Ocean Strategy. <BR/><BR/>Who will win? Google, methinks. So long as folks trust Google with their data, and most folks seem to, the standard quoted SaaS/Cloud-based advantages, along with the freemium biz model should eventually carry the day.Seth Wagonerhttp://sethop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163708259912924955.post-53750420380265863142008-10-19T15:49:00.000+13:002008-10-19T15:49:00.000+13:00:-) Nice comparisonMike Riversdalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00112999693425305730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163708259912924955.post-4913428529352380672008-10-19T11:02:00.000+13:002008-10-19T11:02:00.000+13:00This seems similar to the comparison of factual errors between Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia a few years ago. The number of errors were about the same. What was interesting was that the Wikipedia errors were all fixed two days later...Julian Carverwww.seradigm.co.nznoreply@blogger.com
