Google gaint Exchange NOT Office (Score 1)

I still dont understand why everybody compares Google Apps to MS Office. Is it not more a MS Exchange replacement. My MS Office (including Outlook) works fine WITH (not against) Google Apps. My bet is Google Apps will move towards file synchronization... and you will be able to do that through the API.... and trhe API is the key.. not the AJAX interface. for example we are developing an FREE open source "business application platform" (think salesforce.com). Our first application is working tightly integrated with GOOGLE APPS. (applicationexchange.com)
