Comments on: My Shrinking Microsoft Footprint… http://clemmons.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/my-shrinking-microsoft-footprint/ Right side up? Or upside down?

We used Excel for the longest time because it "just worked"... however, we just moved to Yodlee and I am ecstatic with it. True the massive manual process in moving over data is an obstacle... but it's been worth it so far. Forgot about personal finance software.

Other than Vista I don't use any Microsoft products any more at home. Picasa for photos, google docs for work, twhirl for communications, gmail for email, wordpress for blogging. Really the only non-cloud software I use anymore is Quicken. And I would stop using that if Mint would allow me to import all my old Quicken data. Google is on the same attack vector to the enterprise that Microsoft was a decade ago: through the home user that brings their stuff to work. The partnerships with Salesforce.com will only accelerate this. Same is true for me, especially for my personal life. Other than Vista I don’t use any Microsoft products any more at home.
