Blogger Dean Hunt has apparently started to receive threats from an online store regarding Hunt’s blog’s google ranking.  The online store owner claims that he deserves to rank higher than Hunt’s blog in searches and is threatening legal action if he doesn’t change his ranking in google.  I have a lot of respect for Hunt.  He has refused to name the store or it’s owner.  I’d shame the guy off the net.

Yeah, this is just another instance of Microsoft jumping on the bandwagon after everybody else did.

Microsoft’s Office suite is the undisputed ruler of desktop software, but with Google moving in on Web-based office applications, Microsoft was sure to follow. Microsoft may offer basic versions of its word processing and spreadsheet software which will be supported by advertising.

Microsoft is pondering making its Works software available online, but is also careful not to cannibalize its sales of Office as it is one of the software giant’s leading sources of revenue. Microsoft may opt to offer its online software with a subscription-based model.
