one of the main issues amongst Slashdot commenters was: why do we even need a
Web Office? <a href="http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=178136&amp;cid=14771537">This
comment</a> by Eightyford put it best:</p>
<blockquote><p>&quot;What are the advantages of having an online Office Suite? I'd say that the disadvantages include: security issues, slow speed, dependance on internet connection, limited features, harder to program, and probably many others. What is the point?&quot;</p></blockquote>

        <![CDATA[<p>Eightyford's point might be a good question but I cannot see any of his arguments valide. </p>
