Two heavy weight experts on Microsoft, Reg software editor Gavin Clarke and ZDNet blogger Mary-Jo Foley, recently got together to discuss the hits, misses and "fence sitters" for Microsoft in 2010. Surprisingly, Office 365 and Microsoft BPOS did not get so much as a mention and Office Web Apps was a "fence sitter" for both of these experts. The reason they gave was that Microsoft's strategy around Office Web Apps was unclear, as was the fact who its users would be, and how they would benefit. You can watch the video here. Although web based productivity suites bring document collaboration features, people are too used to the power and convenience of MS Office to let go that easily. We can expect the future of web based office productivity market to be clearer over next year.
