# Poll: Was Google Apps Premier The Web Office Tipping Point?

There was a lot of talk last week [about Google Apps Premier](https://web.archive.org/web/20101125002448/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_apps_premier.php), the Google-supported package of web-based office products. Many people spoke about it as if it was a rival to Microsoft Office. While Google Apps Premier is clearly targeted at small business, there’s a feeling that it’s also more than suitable for enterprises. Indeed Procter & Gamble Global Business Services and General Electric were [wheeled out](https://web.archive.org/web/20101125002448/http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/pressrel/google_apps.html) by Google as early customers of Apps Premier.
