I thought about this in the past and disagree. You can already see it with google docs. Office file format interop is becoming irrelevant because the new format is just an url you point your browser to. I worked at a company that used gdocs and had a total of 0 complaints about sending customers a link to a gdoc instead of a docx attachment. There is no need for an industry standard anymore.
As for adobe tools, ok they might still be an issue currently.
- pjmlp 5y agoGoogle docs is useable if what one expects from a word processor is being a digital typewriter with Write like features.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoThe people needing advanced features of Office are a tiny minority
- pjmlp 5y agoExcept each minority wants a different set of Office features.
- wyclif 5y agoIt's like that now, but Google Docs will eventually start moving in on Word's more sophisticated feature set.
- pjmlp 5y agoSure, like it has already done so for the last decade.
