It seems extra strange for a giant company with really broad PR reach to announce they'll be providing a solution for a need you didn't know you had, but not yet, and in the meantime everyone will tell you that over here's a separate company who will already do it for you. Given the lack of MS product, it seems like this announcement would only help airtable.
- john_minsk 6y agoIf you start writing this software now, you would probably release 3rd competitor to this duo faster then some corporation decides to buy airtable if they heard about it now. Quick is very relative term
- ako 6y agoit takes a lot of time for enterprises to buy software, so if they start that process now after the announcement, by the time they are ready to actually buy, microsoft will have released it. Bonus for microsoft is that can already start competing with airtable for a commercial perspective, even if they don't actually ship the software already.
