- tracker1 10y agoNot really embrace or extinguish... they're embracing the SaaS model, but in a lot of way's that's even more portable and able to move, provided sufficient tooling. It seems to me that they're offering a compelling competing product to what Google Docs has, and expanding upon it far more/better than where Google has. At least in terms of servicing business. This is actually pretty great. Leveraging a windows monopoly to encroach on other areas and using unpublished APIs for competitive advantage is quite different than this. I wish MS all the best with this one.
