With all of the smack-talking and chest-bumping going on between Google’s enterprise team and Microsoft’s Office group, it’s easy to forget about other cloud computing vendors who may be affected by Microsoft’s launch of Office 2010 May 12.

Office Web Apps includes Web-based editions of Microsoft OneNote, Excel, Word and PowerPoint which Microsoft users can access through their browser.
