Google just launched a test of an Ajax-based website editor. Supposedly, this will let you create websites with a look-and-feel that mimics a native desktop application. Do you wonder why Microsoft is scared of these guys? Are you going to pay $90 for FrontPage if you can get comparable functionality for free?
Clayton Christensen has pointed out that high-end market leaders are always edged out by low-end competitors whose products are “good enough” but which make products available to large new audiences. Examples include off-the-rack clothing, transistor radios, Toyotas, Dell PCs, VOIP phone services, etc. Google is getting to be very good at “good enough.”
actually, the google page stuff is nothing more than an ajax demo.
considering it as a competitor even against Frontpage is ridiculous
