All these online office suites uses following drawback of Ms office suites .
Microsoft's weaknesses
Not free and in fact can be very expensive for a small business, non-profit, or emerging market
No easy-to-use collaboration tools that rival the leaders in the Online office space
Web-based delivery is not a core competency. MS would potentially need to reorganize operation.
Options available to Microsoft to protect its turf
1) Offer comparable MS online office products, using free ad based and/or subscription business models (may cannibalize existing strategy and core competency).
2) Blur the line between online and offline apps in the existing Microsoft Office desktop suite (appears to be where they're headed)
3) Buy the online competition (ThinkFree, Zoho, et al)
4) Block any interoperability between online office competitors and MSOffice (isn't that how they usually play ball?)
5) Continue with current business model and ignore the competition (not wise, in our opinion)
