Microsoft should fear Google, part 4
I blogged before that I thought Google should bundle mail and calendar together and offer it as a stand-alone product. As I noted before, Google had started to offer mail as a hosted application; now they are offering mail, calendar, IM, and Web page design/hosting as a hosted application.
Apparently it’s not necessary for it to be a hosted application for it to be an interesting value proposition, but I think even more businesses would be interested if they could get the machines behind their firewalls.
