I think people should switch to Google Docs and Spreadsheets now. To me, it seems like a much better solution than Microsoft Office and its clones. It works fine even on the measly 256 Kbps broadband connections and AFAIK, it is laden with features. :)
Wha??? NO ways ! Google Docs is so basic !! Office 07 is the one good app thats Microsoft has released ..

Of course, but most of the time times, you do not need all those features. And Google Docs has all the basic stuff you need to write stuff. Nothing beats the convenience of everything being stored on Google's servers and sharing being as easy as giving someone a link to your document. Of course, nothing beats the price as well.

This does not mean it can rival MS Office in terms of features, but it certainly does what it is designed to do rather well. :)

but yaar biggest prob with google docs is that it's Online , so nyone without net access can't use it .

i rarely do use ny office suite , that too to read attachments , etc . most of my work is done with Notepad++ :D

Basically anyone who would use a program like Google Docs will have Internet access. Isn't that quite obvious?

Well, it is not for them. It is for those offices where people have to share documents and all. Or for individuals who have to share their documents across continents.

Of course, nothing beats Microsoft Office on a single user desktop.

:)) I hope you know about the Multiple user collaboration features available in MS Office since Office XP. Make anywhere, distribute anywhere.....shared usage all over
