Google Apps might be a dwarf compared to its rival Microsoft Office but it is making steady progress. It has finally made a stride of some significance by making it to 1 million enterprise users. The company claims to be successfully wooing 3,000 businesses to Google Apps everyday. However, it is certain that a significant chunk of its users are using the free version; the Premium version carries an annual subscription fee of $50.
Google Apps’ contribution to Google’s annual income was a paltry $4 million in 2007, and not a whole lot should change in the foreseeable future. Not that Google would be banking on a miraculous turnaround, as its product currently doesn’t even deserve to feature in the same sentence as Microsoft Office – at least going by the economics of magnitude. Google seems to be aiming for a ponderous victory over Microsoft.

It seems to me like Google wants to take the monopole over this industry, too. I was speaking with an executive coaching Tucson agent the other day about this virtual giant and he told me that we have started to become slaves of this brand without even noticing that. I agree with the sentence and I feel like every branch from an industry should be controlled by different companies, so we avoid depending on one of them alone.

I've always thought that there aren't many people who agree to change something in their lives too easily. I still think that, although it could be that I haven't met the right people, yet. I didn't understand what kind of business rating services application was used to get the numbers, but at my place of work everybody has made peace with the Office package and I don't think this is going to change soon.
