"Gmail of Powerpoint"? Am I the only one who is struggling to make sense of what that means?



Gmail did a pretty good job redoing a certain technology, web based email, in this case. Powerpoint is a technology that needs reworking.


remember pb's (to distinguish him from pg) definition of a good product: the suffix "that actually works".


That's looking at it from the business's point of view, not the users' point of view. Also, it still doesn't make much sense.


It does? Seems to work just fine... everyone uses it, unless they use macs.


No, me too. Sounds pretty vapid, to be blunt.


Think of Outlook, Thunderbird, Pine, what have you.
