I am not sure if network-based office computing is yet a serious threat to MS, but is cannot help. The world continues to innovate toward cloud and software-as-a-service computing and MS continues to fumble with trying to come up with a new OS.
Regarding MS's future, don't hold your breath for stunning innovation. Their computing model has little chance to gain new market share in the direction they are heading.
Google, on the other hand, is poised for continued growth.

gdal2tiles(1) General Commands Manual gdal2tiles(1)
NAME
gdal2tiles - gdal2tiles.py generates directory with TMS tiles, KMLs and simple web viewers
SYNOPSIS
gdal2tiles.py [-title "Title"] [-publishurl http://yourserver/dir/]
[-nogooglemaps] [-noopenlayers] [-nokml]
[-googlemapskey KEY] [-forcekml] [-v]
input_file [output_dir]
DESCRIPTION
This utility generates a directory with small tiles and metadata, following OSGeo Tile Map Service Specification. Simple web pages with
viewers based on Google Maps and OpenLayers are generated as well - so anybody can comfortably explore your maps on-line and you do not
need to install or configure any special software (like mapserver) and the map displays very fast in the webbrowser. You only need to
upload generated directory into a web server.
GDAL2Tiles creates also necessary metadata for Google Earth (KML SuperOverlay), in case the supplied map uses EPSG:4326 projection.
World files and embedded georeference is used during tile generation, but you can publish a picture without proper georeference too.

Tile cutting profile (mercator,geodetic,raster) - default 'mercator' (Google Maps compatible).
