Microsoft gets Office.com domain

on 08/06/2009, filed in Home >

We have to admit that it’s a good domain name, but knowing that Microsoft is set to unveil a major offensive against Google Doc, it makes things even more interesting. Microsoft has previously said that a web-based Office suite would be available for free but has not shown any demos or screenshots yet. We think that Office on the web could be Microsoft’s first successful anti-Google project.

The former (and little known) service previously hosted by Office.com has been relocated to ContactOffice.com.
