> What people wanted was quick & easy way to produce HTML5 forms and tables, but with the power of a native GUI app. Spot on. As with all things, Microsoft-of-the-time saw the web as a competitor to its products, not a new platform. They actually could have built substantial portions of Office 365 (which is to say, cloud -first and -integrated Office) in the early 2000s, but tried to protect their legacy businesses. It's nice to see them finally getting there, but Access-to-Web would still be a killer product for much of Enterprise, if they could solve the data source connectivity issues in a clean way for users.
