GOOGLE grabs 450 million Microsoft users with alternative to Office

GOOGLE announced on Feb. 22 that it will launch a new software product called "APPS PREMIER EDITION," which is previously rumored to be a cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office.

PPS PREMIER EDITION, which can store Internet data and chat online, costs $50 a year for a full service. These services include GMAIL service, GOOGLE CALENDAR, GOOGLE SPREAD SHEETS&DOCS CREATOR for file processing, real-time communication GOOGLE TALK, and Internet telephony service. As well as customised web pages, a record of all users' favourite sites, and 10 GIGABITS of EMAIL data storage, which GOOGLE claims is 100 times larger than the average mailbox.

Microsoft Office now has 450 million legitimate users.
