The 1990s had been the decade of Microsoft. Microsoft owned the operating system, and it owned the most popular applications. Microsoft's success relied on the concept of the personal computer: one user, one application, one computer. Web-based computing represented the first serious challenge to Microsoft's business model. Due to increased bandwidth and more sophisticated Internet software, it had become possible to create applications that ran on websites and that users could access via their Web browser. It was basically a client-server architecture, except that the "server" was potentially the entire Internet, and the client was potentially the entire human population.Cloud computing was on-demand Web-based computing. The concept was pioneered by startups such as Saleforce.com. In February 2007, Google targeted Microsoft's core business when it disclosed a humbler version of cloud computing, Google Docs. That suite could be accessed by any computer via a Web browser, and included a word-processor and a spreadsheet program (both acquired from independent companies, respectively Upstartle and 2Web Technologies). One could already imagine the end of the era of the operating system, as the Web replaced the need for one. A computer only needed a browser to access the Web, where all other resources and applications were located.
Microsoft was still dominant and powerful. In 2008 Microsoft Windows owned almost 90% of the operating system market for personal computers, while Google owned almost 70% of the Internet search market. The future, though, seemed to be on Google's side. In April 2010, Microsoft's IE commanded 59.9% of the browser market, followed by Firefox with 24.5% and Google's own Chrome (first released in September 2008 and based on Apple's WebKit)) with 6.7% That was
