In-Depth ajaxWrite Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the web-words dept.

mikemuch writes "ajaxWrite is the first offspring of ajax13, Michael Robertson's (of Lindows and SIPphone fame) latest startup that aims to deliver a brave new line of web-delivered, AJAX-based apps. ExtremeTech today has an in-depth review of just how apt a replacement ajaxWrite is for the big installed word processors. It's a neat idea, but let's just say the web-based word processor has some catching up to do."

    In truth, though, there are better lightweight solutions, like Zoho writer: http://www.zohowriter.com/ and ThinkFree Office: http://www.thinkfree.com/

    Except, of course this isn't an AJAX application. It's an XUL application, which has nothing to do with ajax.

    Sort-of like the relationship between "javascript" and "java", only more tenuous (at least both of those were programming languages).
