Microsoft Launches Attack On Google Docs

Microsoft claims that the Google Docs platform is unreliable and does not perform as well as the new Microsoft Office programs do. It also claims that you will spend more time trying to format your document or will have to use third party applications. There are shiny ads showing you how Google Docs will ruin the formatting of a word document when you try and import.

Google must have something done something right since the City of Boston has announced that it will be switching from Microsoft to Google at a cost of over $800,000, but they expect to be able to save upwards of $280,000 a year after the switch.

This news alone is enough to rattle the teeth of Microsoft and make them do a double take of their competition.
