What is Office 2.0? Imagine a computer that never crashes, or gets infected by a virus.
Imagine a computer onto which you never have to install any
application. Imagine a computer
that follows you wherever you go, be it at school, at work, abroad, or
back home. This
computer does not exist today, but it will in the future, and this
future might be much closer than you think.
