Is this a (belated) reaction to Google Docs being "good enough" for many use cases?
We also just heard about Chrome OS pushing Microsoft to cut the price of Windows licenses for low-end laptops. Plus we have Nokia (soon to be Microsoft's smartphone division) releasing low-end handsets based on Android.
These may all be reasonable strategic choices (I tend to think they're at least heading in the right direction), but put the picture together and it looks like Microsoft has been pushed into playing Google's game according to Google's rules. That usually doesn't end well.

- obimod 13y agoI think they're starting to understand the pursuit of singularity and think (for good reason) that they have enough connections/money/data in the bag to reach for it. Google disclosed their pursuit for the first time in my knowledge recently on ACM. It would be an interesting read, their privacy policy, and whether they "collect information to enhance their service". Also the business intelligence is worth it's weight in gold.
