    http://www.writely.com/ - The REAL story is how fast AJAX is changing the web app landscape.

    AJAX is the quiet revolution that Google has been lighting a fire under and I doubt MS has anything as nimble or elegantly simple then anything Google might be brewing. VISTA may have some tools to compete at a very basic level... maybe!

    In the meantime... there's Writely... which looks pretty mature for a BETA AJAX application.

    Welcome to Web 2.0!

    You're thinking in terms of porting Word (or the like) to the web.
    That would take megabytes. Word processors striped of their bloat
    are very simple apps. This is what an ajax based one would be.

    But we still need a net based text editor (aka Word) in order to make any network computer feasable.

    In that case, check out Writely.

    Writely is a web word processor that provides simple and secure document collaboration and publishing on the web using only the browser. It even allows you to import your Word doc files.

    Could this be the Net Based Text Editor that you are looking for?
