I totally agree - the SUNW/GOOG press conference seems awkward. What can Sun provide other than Java? And everybody else is using java without press conferences. Also, the idea of putting OpenOffice.org online is stupid. Most computers sold today are laptops, and you need access to your office software even when you're not online. However, if Google starts to use Java for all the GUI applications, it would mean a change that is related to Microsoft. Also, if Google would provide a free online office suite with document management, based on the OASIS document format, that would probably become very popular, since document management is a serious lack in both Linux and Windows. Google already provides more than 2.5 GByte storage space on gmail.com, so an online office suite and document management system would be a logical next step.
