The news is finally out. Google has entered into the core territory where tech giant Microsoft has long ruled, the desktop. What this means is that a suite of software comparable to Microsoft’s Office suite is now downloadable and free for all those who hold Google accounts.

Hindustan Times, tracking global developments, had last year broken the news that Gmail, the e-mail software that is available online, was set to go offline, which means that you don’t have to be connected to the Internet to use it.

Google Gears is the name given to online services that are offered offline as well.

In an exclusive interview to Hindustan Times on Tuesday, Ken Norton, Product Manager, Google Inc, said Google Docs, which includes word processing and spreadsheet software resembling Microsoft’s Excel, was going offline.

As a result of this, the Internet browser can be used as a word processing and editing software application, like Microsoft’s Word. Until now, if one wanted to save money on Internet usage or was positioned in a location where an Internet connection was not available—like an airline flight—one had to use another word processing or spreadsheet software. No longer.

In the Google Gears framework, the browser becomes somewhat akin to Microsoft’s e-mail software Outlook. Here, the browser becomes your Outlook and when you connect to the Net you can share the document with others, much like an e-mail being sent when you log on after typing them on the Outlook program while offline. While this is great news for consumers looking for free and easy-to-use software, it is not really great news for Microsoft. Microsoft’s offering Office Live falls short with respect to offline editing and saving unless you have an Office Suite installed on your computer.

While the final vote has not yet been announced formally, publicly available information appears to indicate the proposed Open XML standard received extremely broad support. According to documents available on the Internet, 86 percent of all voting national body members support ISO/IEC standardization, well above the 75 percent requirement for formal acceptance under ISO and IEC rules. In addition, 75 percent of the voting Participating national body members (known as P-members) support standardization, also well above the 66.7 percent requirement for this group. Open XML now joins HTML, PDF and ODF as ISO- and IEC-recognized open document format standards.

"With 86 percent of voting national bodies supporting ratification, there is overwhelming support for Open XML. This outcome is a clear win for the customers, technology providers and governments that want to choose the format that best meets their needs and have a voice in the evolution of this widely adopted standard," said Tom Robertson, general manager of Interoperability and Standards at Microsoft Corp. "The input from technical experts, customers and governments around the world has greatly improved the Open XML specification and will make it even more useful to developers and customers. Once it is formally approved, we are committed to supporting this specification in our products, and we will continue to work with standards bodies, governments and the industry to promote greater interoperability and innovation."

The open standard has gained broad adoption across the software industry for use on a variety of platforms - including Linux, Windows, Mac OS and Palm OS. Hundreds of independent software vendors and platform providers around the world - such as Apple Inc., Corel Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc., Microsoft and Novell Inc. - are developing solutions using Open XML that offer real value for IT users around the globe. Independent research has concluded that use of Open XML is likely to expand further over time.* Thousands of companies have expressed support for Open XML and its ratification by ISO (http://www.iso.org) and IEC at http://www.openxmlcommunity.org.

Those working with Open XML can attest to the benefits of this open file format in the areas of file and data management, data recovery, interoperability with line-of-business systems, and the long-term preservation of documents. The formats are optimized for the level of precision and detail that facilitates carrying forward billions of existing files. Open XML file formats are uniquely capable of integrating other types of systems and data with Open XML documents, while maintaining a clean, simple separation of presentation (Open XML markup) and data (custom schemas and instances thereof). This means that organizations can use Open XML formats to report information from other applications and systems without having to translate it first, which is a key innovation for developers seeking to incorporate real-time business information into their documents, or those who seek to "tag" documents with their own categorization system to improve their understanding of the documents' contents.
