Is that even possible since RS is a client side game? Lol this guy says he got some Runescape hacks… do you think he’s for real? Is that even possible since RS is a client side game?

For documents with lots of formatting, it is harder for the web apps, but yes, Zoho has a wonderful word processing app. Actually, I really like all of the Zoho apps...very complete and polished. I like the simplicity and speed of the Google apps for simple, quick documents. Thanks for stopping by! I understand about the formatting issues that some folks have.

Glad you found the article. It is nice to Microsoft making the transition to the web, and I will keep tabs on the Office Live site as it develops and also check into how to use it as a stand alone web app. Thanks Jeff.

However I find it frustrating that the formatting doesn't transfer from Word to google and back again. After reading your article, I checked out Zoho writer and wow! it's amazing. Granted I just signed up but I am excited to go play with all their applications! The writer part is amazing. The formatting is the same between import and export, plus there is more formatting options in the app. I'm sad to say, Google is going to have to step up the quality of their apps if they want to stay competitive in the cloud computing world.

I just wanted to point out that it can be used as a stand alone service and it does not require an add-in, unless you want to sync it directly into MS Office. As to the not being completely web 2.0 comment, Office Live Workspace is getting there. The next version of MS Office will come with web-app versions of Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint which will allow for full editing/writing capabilites online. More on that in this press pass: http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/Features/2008/oct08/10-28PDCOffice.mspx Cheers, Jeff MSFT Office Live Outreach http://officelive.com/workspace/ Thanks for mentioning Office Live Workspace in your list.
