Remember the Milk

I browsed through slate.com's article on web based application that might render Microsoft's demise. The article goes like this:

"Office isn't the only Microsoft hegemony that Google Gears could help destroy. One of the defining differences between Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux is the application lineup. That's given the crew in Redmond, Wash., tremendous power: It's not purely happenstance that Mac users wait longer for new versions of Office and never get some programs, such as Outlook and Access. But technologies like Gears render the operating system largely irrelevant. Remember the Milk couldn't care less whether it's running in Internet Explorer on Windows or in Firefox on a Mac. Neither could I, since it's exactly the same useful service on both platforms. If productivity applications migrate to the browser, you could choose whatever OS you pleased--your apps would work anywhere and everywhere..."

I'm testing the online app "Remember the Milk" in exchange for outlook or opera's widget of "To do" list. Give it a spin too.

The full article is here: "Gears of War"

Thanks to Linux Today for the post.
