Office is great and all, but I transitioned to Google Docs a long time ago. The one thing holding me back from Linux as my day-to-day operating system is lack of Adobe software. The day Photoshop and Fireworks comes to Linux (heck, the whole entire Creative Suite) I'll jump the Windows ship so fast. If true, this is a smart move for Microsoft because if the tide changes, Microsoft would already have a foothold because open source equivalents of MS Office just aren't as good as Microsoft's offering. When was the last time you ever saw a business using OpenOffice over Microsoft Office? Never.
- dhaivatpandya 14y agoI like Google Docs, but, I find that it is nowhere near the "quality" (well, maybe just features) of Microsoft Word. In fact, I don't think it is even meant to be. I for one would do fine on Google Docs, but, there are many for whom that would not work.
- rowanseymour 14y agoI wonder how many is many. Of all the people out there using MS Office, what percentage of them could do their job just as well if not better with Google Docs, bearing in mind the advantages of an online suite such as collaboration and sharing. I wonder if the majority of MS Office users are just unaware of the alternatives or nervous about learning a new application.
