> Did they say Excel was broken when they let you make spreadsheets in Docs? Did they break down email to its bare bones and remake it for Gmail? no one had managed to make a good spreadsheet/wiki cross before google docs. i know because i looked for one for years. as for gmail, they didn't fix email, they fixed webmail. if coldewey thinks they didn't he has clearly forgotten what the webmail landscape was like before gmail came out. (it is possible that microsoft's outlook-in-the-browser was up there with gmail; i have never used that. everything else pretty much sucked.)
