GDocs vs. ThinkFree vs. Zoho vs. MS Office

CWmike writes "Web-based productivity suites, once almost a contradiction in terms, have become real challengers to desktop applications. Google Docs, ThinkFree, and Zoho, have all made major improvements in recent months. They're becoming both broader, with more applications, and deeper, with more features and functionality in existing apps. The question is: Are these three applications really ready to take on a desktop-based heavy hitter like Microsoft Office?"

Office is da bomb.

Just give up already, you want to spend the money and buy a nice new Vista PC. Piano black, the ribbon, veterans love it and newbies grok it. It all works together so well it's like a dream. Opens your old documents and saves the new ones in a better than internationally accepted standards way. Worth every penny, $450 for the ultimate OS and $450 for the bestes Office suite, so your computer should not cost much less than $1000. Think of how it will train your children in the skills every office demands. Yeah, now your wallet is moving.

I, the President of the Twitter Reduction Organization, request that you cease the unnecessary and vulgar bandmouthing of our organization. We provide a valuable service, and as of July 100% of all proceeds go directly towards Twitter suppression activities.

We accept Pay-Pal.

No. "shutdown -r now" from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Yup, collaboration must be a killer feature for a one-man shop.
