Sure, the rumors about Google Office, GoogleOS, etc. have been flying
fast and furious for a while. But the latest is certainly worth
repeating: tomorrow Google and Sun will be holding a joint press
conference, the subject of which is said to be the roadmap for the
Google version of Star Office/OpenOffice. Will this be an online, "Web
2.0" version of OO.o? Or a desktop-based, Google-integrated app? Only
time (and very little of it, apparently) will tell, but it's clear that
Google is interested in OO.o; they recently hired Joerg Heilig, a Sun
developer with a long history in Star Office and Open Office. One thing
is certain: All eyes will be on Mountain View tomorrow, when Google's
Eric Schmidt and Sun's Scott McNealy make their big announcement.
