Google spreadsheets? That's the next salvo in the battle of Microsoft v. Google. Ever since Lotus 1-2-3 was taken down by Microsoft Excel in the mid-nineties, Microsoft has handily dominated the land of spreadsheets. Google will be introducing a new spreadsheet program tomorrow, in a limited release. The company will be accepting signups at 9 a.m. EDT tomorrow on its Google Labs web site.

Thanks to the news, GOOG recovered a bit from its $5.00 drop today in after hours trading, but Microsoft didn't seem to have an equal and opposite affect, also up a bit after a $0.26 drop.
