I agree with the spirit of your article, that Google Spreadsheets (as is) is no match for Excel, but in my latest blog post I bring up a feature which I think could make Google Spreadsheets an Excel killer, and you would be hard pressed to implement it in Excel (which doesn’t require being Online). This feature is simply web-references for spreadsheet formulaes.

Interesting review. I agree with your review that Google has done a great job, especially for a Beta product. I also concur that this is long ways off from where Excel is at. However as I discuss in my blog (http://wisezen.blogspot.com), Google can win in spite of an inferior product by following the ‘disruption’ strategy of serving customers with minimal requirements and non-customers. Google will beat Microsoft, the way Windows beat mainframes- with time by bringing the functionality to un-served masses.

Hi Rabbit. It’s no Excel-killer – not by a long shot. Prediction of the demise of Microsoft Office is greatly exaggerated.

I’m not impressed, it’s not even as powerful as MS Works 4.0 on Windows 95.

I just read the article on Google Spreadsheets on USAToday.com and so I thought I’d pop over thinking there’s no way you’ve already posted about it..guess I was wrong although I can’t say I’m surprised!

[...] Vinny Carpenter takes a quick look at the just-launched Google Spreadsheets. Although some people think this is an Excel challenger. I, however, don’t think it’s a threat to Excel power base at all. [...]
