Web Office Embracing MS Office While Microsoft Is NOT

Perfect timing: I’m reading Richard MacManus’s post on Web Office APIs – Embracing and Extending Microsoft Office on the very same day we find out Microsoft isn’t embracing it’s own products.  

I guess Derek is right asking: Time to drop Microsoft Office?.   Especially when you can work on Microsoft files without Microsoft products.

Update (12/6):  Fred Wilson’s New Year Resolution: I am going to remove Microsoft from my life in 2007.
