We've been hearing about the possibility of Google taking aim at uber-dominant Microsoft Office for a while now. And here it is. Google just launched a paid version of its documents, spreadsheets, calendar and email programs. 100,000 small businesses are running a trial of this package, including General Electric and Procter & Gamble. What will it cost? $50 per account per year and with that you get 10 gigabytes of storage and phone support. Yeah, I'd say that's competing with Microsoft.
