Is Microsoft Office Online next?

It's a question lots of folks are searching for clues with which to answer.

Ephraim Schwartz may have found one in the form of a press release Microsoft issued indicating that Microsoft Dynamics CRM Live is being renamed CRM Online, as the IDG News Service reported in this news story.

Perhaps more telling than the re-christening, though, is a line in Microsoft's statement about the company's "tremendous investment in and focus around on-demand technology for business users."

That's why Schwartz is asking Will Microsoft Online Office follow?

"One piece of advice: don't laugh."

Oh please! This has been in Microsoft's plan for years now. They knew a long time ago the future would lie with the internet, and they've started that transition process with online help search functionality tied into their products with the Office 2003 release. Within the next 5 years we won't carry software on our computers, and you should see that trend now with the Google Apps.
