And you bring up a good point about portable OpenOffice. Hard to believe why folks still pay for Microsoft Office. Thanks for stopping by!

If I did, I could install a portable copy of OpenOffice.org on a USB thumb drive, and carry it that way. Since this is about 95% of my use of the OOo suite, I don't see any advantage for me in a Zoho-type web application. Online backup is a part of my backup strategy, and I sync my Firefox bookmarks using Xmarks, so I do use some of the Web 2.0 features.
