"Microsoft's next version of its small-business/home productivity suite, due imminently, will be free and ad-funded. Microsoft Works 9.0 - which will be the new product's name, if Microsoft opts to stick with its current nomenclature - might also debut at some point as Microsoft-hosted low-end productivity service, as many have been speculating. A hosted version of Works would give Microsoft a head-to-head competitor with Google Docs & Spreadsheets and other consumer- and small-business focused services, analysts have said."

Even if MS Works were superior (don't know--never used it), I'm wondering if the ads will be annoying enough to cause some serious Windows users to think about alternatives.
Serious Windows users (power users) are already using MS Office.
