Seems like Google are taking massive steps in enhancing EMail which I would imagine they will be rolling out as part of their new OS. This enhancements, an application called Wave, are quite significant and seems to encompass EMail, IM, document sharing with a bit of collaborative working and all running on a browser. Watch a demo here. It sure looks good. It’s Googles killer application and will be a blow to MicroSoft.
I, of course, will be sticking with my old EMail program until I am dragged screaming and shouting into the 22ndcentury which if this application takes off, which I think it will, will be late next year. The reason is that my EMail can run on any old processor with hardly any memory. Wave on the other hand will need a hefty processor to act as a server which will hold all your EMail and document files just like all corporates do now.
This app looks so good it won’t be long before it is introducing a Google OS into all the forward thinking companies. It is clearly a leap forward in corporate EMail systems and will replace several disparate systems, EMail, IM, document management and conferencing facilities with one nice neat well integrated package. Come September a few IT departments will be looking at this tool as a matter of urgency.
If it performs as well as it looks here it could change significantly the balance of power in the corporate environment. First by introducing a Linux OS to predominantly MS computer rooms and, secondly, by making a non MS application a key component of corporate infrastructure. Google are just the company to do it too. Roll on September.
