MS, Yahoo VS Google

Back to Auguest last year, Google unveiled Google Apps for Your Domain, which clearly shows their interests of the business software market. Obviously, it is not going to be an online version of MS Office, and as Dave Girouard said, Google is not going to compete with MS Office. But, is google aiming to build a platform for online business software, and possibly going to allow outside developers like myself to offer services? If not, why the hell they do that for?

However, is the marriage of MS and Yahoo going to kill this baby product of Google's enterprise division?

Combining two dogs could possibly make a pony, who know :)
