Portability and the fact you don't have to download it make Doc very attractive. Yeah, it was just me pointing out Google World domination plot on here. :p Back on topic... Any invites? |

| 815486 | 2009-10-03 05:34:00 | ^What did I say that was so wrong exactly? They entered the Office's turf with google docs, and soon they will have as many regular users than OpenOffice. ^Post #17. Just because you and I do not like the idea of cloud computing, doesn't change the fact that's where we are headed. As I said in the first post I don't trust google all that much. |

Just because you and I do not like the idea of cloud computing, doesn't change the fact that's where we are headed. As I said in the first post I don't trust google all that much. Another problem stated here is where you say that cloud computing is where we are headed. A fact is that most computer users just want to get on with doing what they do with the hardware and software they have. The only clouds I worry about are the ones where I look out the Window like a one made of glass and see rather black ones which means I get dressed in my Line7 gear. |

Looks nothing like what I saw on that unveilling tech preview video on wave.google.com :-/Absolutely agree there - while it may implement some of the technology, it's a very, very long way behind the Google version at this point. |
