If there was any doubt that the Cloud Wars using SaaS are in full swing take a look at Adobes website, Acrobat.com. Make no mistake, Adobe is reserving a place in the Office SaaS space with its free offering of Acrobat.com. The preliminary reviews, including this reviewers quick trip through the tulips is that this offering is neatly tied together with writing functionality, collaborative work, file management, and sharing of PC screens over the Internet. Web II Wars for SaaS dominance has slipped from Office to CRM to PhotoFinishing back to Collaboration. I expect accounting/finance next. This may be tough on packaged software vendors like Adobe itself if they have not planned for local value add. Acrobat.com shows some of that smarts right out of the Cloud.
