News this good doesn’t happen everyday

As all web design firms will know, the implications of this announcement from Google can only be good for web developers. We will all doubtless be madly brushing up on our web 3.0 skills – software as service anyone ? The more business you can “web-ize” the better (and thankfully we have had a few years of practice here!)

I feel a little vindicated for my years of preaching about alternatives to the overly complicated operating systems in use in 99% of companies. (In truth though I bought into it, and got paid to help other people use it for my sins)

Google make this point well – companies invest vast sums of money, energy and time into hardware and software maintenance. Why not leave that to the experts ? It will be vastly more efficient all round. Good for your stress levels. Good for business. Good for the planet. And well, yes, good for Google. But, I think, good for us too.
