Review: Microsoft's Office's Slow Road to the Web - PC World - 0 views

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.

Gary Edwards on 18 Sep 09uh 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.
