Saying that 90% of business don't need the advanced capabilities of office and will find google apps sufficient for their needs is not in any way the same as saying google apps is equivalent for office.

You could certainly discuss the veracity of that number, but there is really no need to misinterpret the message, what a poor article ...

This is naive at best.

All big companies require some sort of technical knowledge in competitors products: Microsoft hires Java gurus, Apple takes engineers for compatibility on their products on Windows so I dont know what is the fuzz.

My first thought was that yes, this is rather ironic. I realized, though, that Google Docs isn't even intended to be used for advanced use cases - it's intended for that "90%" who don't need those features. Apparently some jobs at Google require those features.

This silly headline got a reposted on a lot of different sites for no real reason.
