A big corporate thumbs-up for Google
You may not have heard of Capgemini, but the technology consulting firm has some big-name clients, like drug maker Eli Lilly and the accountants PriceWaterhouseCoopers — big corporations that spend big money on office software and technology. So it's no small deal that Capgemini is endorsing Google's suite of office software. Capgemini will continue to support business software made by other vendors, including Microsoft and IBM, but this is the first time one of the world's top technology consulting services will recommend Google Apps to its corporate customers.

Capgemini's endorsement of Google's office software is significant but don't expect PriceWaterhouseCoopers to do the same. IBM owns PWC. Only if IBM determines that a similar endorsement would entail net competitive advantages, particularly over Microsoft, will PWC endorse Google's office software. Open source client software, if not "middleware" software is the future. That's a major problem for Microsoft's PC operating system and the "office" applications and market it developed.
