While Google still works on completing its online office suite by adding a presentation app and integrating JotSpot, an Indian company called AdventNet already has one and it includes everything from word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, notebooks to wikis, online databases, project management. It's called Zoho and it keeps getting better every day.
In December 2009 Zoho says….
We have many Google (and Google Apps) users using Zoho applications and integration between Google and Zoho Apps is increasingly becoming one of the most requested features. We previously integrated Zoho and Google at Sign-on level (both Google & Google Apps) and now, we are extending this integration to the application level.
CIO News in May 2010…
While Google Apps may not be a knockout threat to Microsoft's enterprise business this year, a cloud apps battle continues to brew between the two companies. Google and Microsoft are the forerunners in this competition, but other rivals are nipping on their heels.
· IBM Lotus Symphony and Lotus Live
· Zoho suite of cloud apps

I have been using Microsoft Live mesh cloud from almost 18 months now, and I am really happy with below free things offered.
ReplyDelete- 20 GB storage for my documents, vids, pic etc.
- Password based file sharing (same as rapid share)
- Online office 2010 (conditions applied)
- Best part you can sync all your devices (home entertainment systems, smart phone, folders on your “work pc”)
- All live mesh sync services work on port 80/443 through proxy.
- Microsoft OneNote works beautiful; if you have windows 7 phone you should try it, the document is sync on all your devices over internet.
Some of the google cloud services are also amazing but being Microsoft user for long they can impress me yet on app side.
- Still using google VOICE from 2 years which is cool, and getting better everyday.
Ubuntu desktop is running on my home server with open office.
- Sync with devices and internet is still problem, won’t replace my current desktop yet.
