Isn't that the pitch of everything from Remote desktop to VPN?

From http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/benefits.html

>For your business, this means every employee and everyone you work with can be productive from anywhere, using any device with an Internet connection.

>Free your team from cubicles

>Access your work from any device with a web browser – your computer, phone or tablet – and stay productive even when you’re away from the office.

>Need to attend a meeting from your kid’s soccer game? Edit a spreadsheet while at the airport waiting for a flight? Respond to an email from a hotel business center computer? Google Apps makes it easy to stay connected to projects you’re working on and the people you work with, no matter where you are or what device you’re using.

Putting Microsoft and dystopian into the headline does get a lot more clicks, upvotes and outrage though.

Or really even what 37signals own features are implying:

"It’s just the right amount of Basecamp when you’re on-the-go."
