It Looks Like Google's Buying Sun After All
The prospects that search engine giant Google is due to buy the U.S.'s
most
sophisticated hardware company "have been swirling around trading
floors and
Silicon Valley for more than a week," reports the credible periodical
in the
Deal Book's blog. "Shares of Sun, which has a partnership with Google to
develop and distribute each other's technology, spiked up about 4
percent
last week as a result of the rumors."
See - I told you so.
What do you all think this will mean for OpenOffice.org?
Much more pressure on MS as Google could promote ODF on all the
searches. Just think about it. Every time someone goes to Google, they
get a download link. Also StarOffice could be promoted more.
And as others have said, lots of programming support.
I would think that Google would have some interest in ODF taking off
simply because it would be easier to parse and index than doc.
