Verticals can wait

Last week I wrote about Zoho's torrid pace of product and feature launches and said next  destination after process functionality and geographic extensions could be vertical functionality.

Instead Zoho goes back to core Office functionality - with something that should interest advanced Excel users. Features like macros and pivot tables - something Google and other Office 2.0 have not tackled- is what Zoho just announced. Zoli has a write up here.

Viable objections to SaaS versions of Office continue to decline.
