    Moving the Point of Assembly Kudos to Zoho. Their efforts remind me of the early days of the Microsoft Productivity Environment where core MSOffice editors expanded their reach through DDE, OLE, rich copy/paste, data binding, merged content and data, VBA scripting and the infamous recorder, and a developer API that meshed platform and productivity apps so deeply into end user information that the binding of business processes to the MOPE is proving near impossible to break. Even for years after the fact. A business ecosystem for client/server was born back in the early 90's, with Microsoft continuing on to own entirely the client side of the equation.

  • The button to open a document in a local copy of Office is apparently IE-only, and some features will require the SilverLight plug-in.

      uh oh.  I'm not so worried about IE specific features or Silverlight only features as i am about MOSS 2010 specific features (MSOffice desktop and SharePoint-SQL Server).  Especially critical will be the OLE, VBA scripting, and data bindings feature sets. How will Microsoft move these stalwarts of the local MOPE (Microsoft Productivity Environment and Client/Server WorkGroup) to the Web?  The end game here is for Microsoft to successfully move the desktop MOPE "Point of Assembly" to a Web centered SharePoint-SQL Server MOPE.  And cut Oracle out in the process.
