Software is dead; long live software

When is the last time u choose Google Docs and Spreadsheet over Microsoft Words and Excel?

Well, maybe we havent advance into that stage yet, but seriously, changes are going around us now.

Maybe in the next 10 or 20 years Microsoft Office will rarely be use by home user.

Web appliences might be taking over their position, as they might just be easier to use, and the good thing about it is u could access it in almost anywhere with a web connection.

Well, it's easier to say than to be done. Consider what will happen when there's no web connections or web connections went down like last time when the earthquake hit the sea and broken all the optic fiber cables, leaving us unable to connect to the outer world.

And before anyone says software is dead, let's have a look at Microsoft's Sales Figure. Microsoft Office 2007 is a big hit, increases in a rate of almost doubling it's predecessor, Microsoft Office 2003. Now what? Software is dead?

There's still a long way to go for software, at least for this century, probably. Software is dead? Maybe not yet.
