"Similar Competitors"

Sounds like a Microsoft Busting strategy.

Obviously Google Office is an alternative to MS Office for Apple.

I'd like to see google collaborate with apple in making their online wares work seemlessly with mac. Stuff like google maps integration with address book and more iphone esc stuff.

If .mac was shifted to google servers/services I'd be a happy chap. .mac is outrageously priced!

MS Office 07 is a product which is miles ahead of the open source alternatives, MS did a great job with it. If google wants to challenge an industry leading product in this area it would be best off collaborating with the open source movement, but thats a discussion that has little to do with the mac platform.

I'd be happy with a google-toolbar for Safari...but a combination of google and .mac would be interesting too, though I don't see that happening.

Office 2007 is a confusing piece of software. Very few companies will be upgrading any time soon.

Google and AOL both have tried to offer net storage services. It ould be fairly easy to make it smarter using an interface like .mac.

One of the main reasons Microsoft became successful was developing a network of installers, certified reps, bulk install contracts. It was viral.

Google and Apple couuld work toward that.

let google take over the dotmac stuff. i get just about 3 gigs free with gmail.

and gDisk works cool. but it'd be great to have the same .mac integration for free.
