Microsoft Office 2007 Cameyo
Harriet Wehrenberg
As part of my project to transition from Windows 7 to Linux, I was looking for an office suite to take the place of the Microsoft Office suite I had been using in Windows. Linux came with various free alternatives, including the estimable LibreOffice. Nonetheless, I wanted some version of MS Office on hand.
While Cameyo's service runs these apps as progressive Web apps (PWAs), "any application can be published as a PWA through the ChromeOS Virtual App Delivery with Cameyo service -- especially legacy desktop apps," explained Robb Henshaw, Cameyo's cofounder and chief marketing officer, via e-mail.
As seen with the pivot to remote work at the onset of the pandemic, many businesses found that accessing applications was the actual need of most office workers. Virtual Application Delivery is a secure remote access technology that presents applications to the end-user instead of full desktop sessions. It provides many benefits for application access use cases over traditional VDI and even cloud-based DaaS solutions like Azure Virtual Desktops (AVD) and Windows 365 (Cloud PC).
With this tool, you can work together in real-time from any location using unified communications tools in a digital office. Thin and zero clients are supported in addition to traditional computers for accessing the virtual desktop environment. With RapidScale's DaaS offering, businesses can deploy desktops and apps to the cloud. Then, from any Internet-connected device, wherever in the globe, you may use your virtual desktop environment.
In the last few weeks, I found myself getting into more video calls than ever before. From having face-to-face meetings in the office, I'm now working from home during the Coronavirus quarantine. Because most of these calls usually involve more...

Google and Microsoft are about to release the next wave of speech products ( e.g. in Android 4 and WP 8 ). These companies have NLP technology Apple hasn't even begin to tackle. Like NLP in all major world languages and across many markets ( eg. Checkout EngKoo [microsoft.com] for example )
Not only that, but Google voice recognition requires wifi or data connection.
So, If you're out of office and out of 3G range (or don't have data plan (kbites left for the month)), you're practically talking to a brick.
Another example was the advent of "word processing" when the first PC's rolled off the assembly line the fear was that it would replace the office worker. Typing pools around the world feared for their job losses. And guess what. The typing pool did actually vanish. What replaced it. Well overall productivity of organisations went up. Transaction speed improved dramatically. A single person in a few minutes could now produce a document of detailed decision making, have it printed and sent off. A process that would take days when typing pools were used. This improved productivity led to a vastly expanded rate and volume of business.
