I like it. I do not see it as a replacement for a full install of OpenOffice.org on a personal computer. Many will want that option to work offline.
Google Chrome, PrestoMyPC (XANDROS), and ASUS instant on motherboards (access to the web on bootup), are all driving cloud computing. I use Prestomypc on a Vista 7 box. If I need ten second access to the internet, I boot to it and get on the web fast. Google Mail and Google Apps lets me view my cloud items and I can edit, share and print. Google Apps is pretty good with accessing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. However, there is a vacuum for the business and professional community that needs a full-fledged, state of the art package like OpenOffice.org. This suggestion presents a solid alternative to the business community. Cost is minimal for a business/professional person. It also provides some of the SharePoint features. First one to market with this type of solution sets the momentum and standard. Microsoft is working on their on-line office package, too. -----Original Message----- From: Guan Ng [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gmail Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 8:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [marketing] use OO through the net Dear all, +1 for online application of OO. Syncing and work away from workplace will be the future trend in many profession. I personally carry a liveUSB around should i in need of working away from my computer, and needed programs that might not include in a normal shared PC.By moving a program online, users would only need a working internet connection to continue their work. This might not sounds as convincing for the OO to move online since any computer should have office suite in it, yet it would still have other benefits. By no means should we eliminate the option of a Cd, but it is also clear that OO will have more exposure to many users our there if there is a online version. It can serve as a really quick and no frills trial for interested users and a really useful tool for those in need.
