Although it doesn't admit it, Google has added yet another spike to the mace it plans to use against Microsoft, the online giant being caught once again trespassing on the Windows father's territory.
Google will start testing a new service which allows users to create and edit spreadsheets.
Currently, Google Spreadsheet is able to import data from the well-known .xls Excel format and from Comma Separated Value (.csv) and will allow users to organize their information and share it.
Like Writely, an online text processor obtained after acquiring Upstartle, Google Spreadsheet requires only a browser and an Internet connection.
All the documents will be saved on Google's servers, and the data will be accessible from any location.
The new service, which is currently tested by a small number of people, is based on a technology acquired in 2004 from 2Web Technologies.
Similarly to the online word processor, Google Spreadsheet will allow users to create, edit and share documents.
