Poll: Which Word Processing Tool Do You Mostly Use?
We ran a poll a year ago asking which word processing tool you used the most. What we were really driving at was: how many of you are using an online word processing service (Google Docs, Zoho, ThinkFree, etc) as your main tool, instead of a traditional desktop one (MS Word, OpenOffice, etc). The results surprised us a bit: MS Word got an overwhelming 46% of the vote, with OpenOffice next on 17%. The best of the online breed was Google Docs, with 11%. Perhaps we shouldn't have been surprised, given that Web Office is still relatively new and not entirely reliable yet. Still, we're keen to know if things have changed over the past year.

Office Live Workspace vs Google Docs: Feature-by-Feature Comparison
Today, Microsoft announced that the Office Live Workspace beta is publicly available for everyone to access. The site, a free web-based extension of Microsoft Office, lets you access your documents online and share your work with others. Some say that the service's launch is a direct response to Google's entry into the web office space with their Google Docs online service. If that's so, then the question now is: did Microsoft just trump Google Docs? Or does Google Docs still rule online office suites?
