I have tried google spreadsheets and it can't open any of the office 2000 excel files that I have at work and display them properly. It get height and width all wrong, plus inserted pictures (logotypes) are removed. The pages I write are a bit smaller then A4 paper, just so it's easier when to print it. With google spreadsheets I get 2-3 pages when I print, in excel I get 1. Test your documents like I did, before you use it fully. It's still a beta, it will hopefully get a lot better then it is now.
Lack of content, poor distribution model and poor readers. I have been reading e-books for atleast 3 years now, and I have used 4-5 applications to do this. Sometimes the application itself is buggy, ex. bookmarks isn't saved, application crash when open large books, bookmark is saved, but is removed as soon as application is closed. I use a Sony Ericsson P800 and most book applications work well on the UIQ/Symbian platform, but they don't work so well on my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard) which uses Windows Mobile 5. I mostly use Microsoft Reader, because my all time favorite Mobipocket reader can't save bookmarks, hangs quite a lot and the support isn't very good.
I can recommend buying the Lacie harddrives. Been using them at work and at home for about 1-2 years now. Never failed on me once.
The lego look-a-like drive is a bit ugly compared to the other "normal" lacie drives though. I'd never be allowed to bring one of these into my home! Oh well, no superstardestroyer for me!
...distro that I actually managed to install without newly installed programs crashing on me (see Red Hat 5-7). I remember that on all new installations I did with different distros (SUSE, Debian, Red Hate and Mandrake) there was always a program which crashed on me. Stuff like that scared me off, since I was a hardcore windows fanatic (well not hardcore, but I didn't know what else there was).
I'm no good at linux at all, but I still use Slackware now and then on my old machine just to see if I have learned anything new to be able to use it more. Reading FAQ's, man pages and howtos is not my thing, as in I can't concentrate enough to understand them.
It just works, I don't know how or why, it just does!
Slackware is a great distro even for beginners like me (been one for 6-8 years now).
I'd love to use Linux, FreeBSD or even a Mac at work. But we need Windows to use SAP R/3 with our own modules or so they say... I have seen that SAP also made clients for Linux (according to an article from 1999 http://news.com.com/2100-1017-222343.html?legacy=c net) but HQ in germany doesn't want to hear about it.
