Now, from the following:.
If this question is interesting, it is now to find a study that confirms this or that point of view - not a problem. The most objective, in my opinion this is. this study. - Everything is on the case and no apparent bias. And I totally agree with the conclusions.
We are in his study of deliberately trying to get into the details and subtleties of the interface - for this is the way to holivoru.
Such studies are clearly visible strengths of the companies - producers. I want to say that Google's innovation and rapid development - it is pointless to compete with anything, even a monster such as Microsoft. I am sure that by the number of bells and whistles in its Apps suite, they are already ahead of. However, the MS, as they say, ' working with lyudyami '. He takes them gently, insistently and persuasively vparivayut their solutions and ideas. And so the two solutions will find their market.
