Google Buying Postini

Google has ventured into the open waters of office applications, seeking to take on Microsoft by providing products similar to those found in the Microsoft Office suite online rather than installed on the local computer. One concern that has gotten in the way of its success has been security. To resolve that concern and bolster the product line, Google is purchasing well-known anti-spam company Postini. The Google Blog has more details about the purchase and how it enhances Google's offerings.
