Heh heh - yep. If Google create some easy ways to manage existing online processes, using their applications, then they've got a huge lock-in right there. Seems to be the way they're heading. I agree, John, that Google's focus isn't as clear as it once was. I think this is inevitable given the fact that they are morphing into a new beast: a tech/media hybrid. >>Now, if Google could bolt on a pdf creator I could even do my invoicing the same way!!!
