Google's cloud-based alternative to Microsoft productivity suite Office is a failure, says Forrest analyst JP Gowdner.
Gowdner writes in his blog that 67% of people use Microsoft Office, quoting Forrester's Consumer Technographics PC and Gaming survey.
He calls Google Docs a `failure' based on what Forrester believes is a measly 4% market penetration.
Gowdner wrote in his blog, "In some ways, the Office vs Google Docs debate doesn't merit a lot of consideration — it's still no competition. In terms of usage and penetration, Google Docs remains a failure — so far, anyway…."
Here's why he believes consumers haven't warmed to Google Docs.
