It reasonable to believe it will be good. Have seem a couple of
article of it and its hard to find any that is critical of it. That
may imply its either very good or they have been so effective at
selecting the preview people that all are google admirers and can
never bring themselves to criticize google. I think the later is very
unlikely.  Or may be, I have not looked hard enough for a critical
writer.

Hmm, have never used SharePoint,  but heard from a lot of people that
it now has a competitor. Good for everyone, when we have competition

The really nice side effects should this take off is, it will leave us
with html5 compatible browsers. I mean, not just firefox 3.5, but even
EI6. That would one huge step in killing flash. Long to see that day.
