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.
