"This week\u2019s \u201Cfaceoff\u201D on Mashable is between Microsoft Office and Google Docs.  While we\u2019ll share with you the final results soon, so far, many of you seem to think that Docs is a viable alternative to Microsoft\u2019s long dominant Office suite.\nAnd, Google thinks so too, at least within the next year or so.  The company\u2019s President of enterprise products tells ZDNet Asia that Docs will push 30-50 updates in that time, at which point he believes the web-based office suite would be capable of serving the \u201Cvast majority\u2019s needs.\u201D  Of course, Microsoft isn\u2019t going to sit quietly while that\u2019s happening.  Office 2010 looks to bring Microsoft\u2019s web and collaboration capabilities up to par with the likes of Google Docs, and offer them for free to anyone with a Windows Live account.   \nIt\u2019s going to be an interesting battle to watch play out, though convincing the masses to \u201Cgo Google\u201D is a lot different than simply having the functionality in place so that it\u2019s a realistic option.  Meanwhile, stay tuned for the final results of our faceoff and go vote if you\u2019d like your opinion to count."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
