Both are targeted at smaller businesses and consumers.<br /> <br /> The products won't replace the company's ubiquitous operating system or productivity suite, and people don't need to have that software loaded to tap into the Web versions. "They are not required to use Windows or Office," Gates said at a press event in San Francisco.<br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <div class='newslinks'><img src='http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/style_images/1/cs_page.gif'> <b>Link: <a href='http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Gates_We_re_entering_live_era_of_software/0,2000061733,39220359,00.htm' target='_blank'><font color='red'>ZDNet Article</font></a><br /><img src='http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/style_images/1/cs_page.gif'> <b>Link: <a href='http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Google_chase_could_trip_up_Microsoft/0,2000061733,39220356,00.htm' target='_blank'><font color='red'>Google chase could trip up Microsoft </font></a><br />
