Google have everything to gain (they do not make browsers) so they want as many visits as possible. I might add that google calender does not allow IE7 users to use it as of yet-the user is bombarded with "never ending" script errors. -Patrick True i would agree…what error message does it give with a different kind of browser?

Google did their implementations right with using AJAX and Javascript. Writely I think did it right with Java. If MS truly wants to beat competition, they need to make their products more accessible. I truly see this as a way for them to increase Office sales. If potential customers see the online MS suite then they will definitely be tempted to go out and buy the standalone copy of OFffice for their machines as well. It just makes plain old business sense.
