#SPANNING SYNC NOTIFIER PASSWORD#
The user creates an account protected with a username ans password and a security greeting. For the security conscious it might seem a little crazy, but the way it works means the zipped file on the server can't be read unless you have a password. I recently started using as a password storage option. This has been becoming reality even for consumer markets. Though without real statistics, I would presume that at the present or in the future, more than 80% of computer users will use only Web programs for most of their personal computer activities. And they don't need MS Office and desktop Email clients that we older computer users get used to. I think, new computer users and younger users may find most of there computing applications totally running on Web. I can hardly raise more examples that any Web application can totally replace my frequent desktop applications. Of course, only advanced users like me will need these Email desktop clients. Of course I still use MS Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird as they are handy for handling multiple accounts. I agree that advanced users will use advanced features that web programs can hardly adequately deliver. MS just forced us to migrate to higher versions with features we rarely needed. It would be nice if Google Docs had an "offline" feature, like Google Reader now does! Reply Delete I also use these version control systems for collaborative editing of documents (like tech reports and journal papers). As long as my local setup has the right tools, I can get a lot of work done with only occasional (once a day or even less) connectivity. They give me a lot of portability for essential connectivity tasks.įor my coding work, I'm better off with traditional solutions, such as an ssh text-based connection and distributed version-control systems like CVS, SVN, and Git. I get a lot more mileage out of online apps that are meant for dealing with online things - such as blog readers (I use Google Reader daily) and webmail. The online image editing site wasn't so useful, mainly because of internet latency/bandwidth and JavaScript being slow. I found Google Docs useful for collaboration and sharing of short, informational documents and spreadsheets, such as the accounting spreadsheet of our carpool cooperative.
I've experimented with a few online applications, including Google Docs and an online image editing site.
Excel power users on the other hand might see an immense lack of features when switching. But for casual home users the picture is very different this target group has much less reason to stick to the more costly MS Office solution, and they might switch to Google Office much quicker.Īlready, Google's Excel (Google Spreadsheets) has all I need from Excel, simply because I don't need much. Once Google Docs is equal - which might take years, if ever - it's still a management decision whether or not to use it.
There will be companies using Microsoft products for many years to come. But never say never.Īs far as what will go obsolete, I think it really depends on the user base. That's twice as long but I don't see why that speed might not be optimized in the future.Īs far as power goes: right now, Google Docs is much less powerful than Word for most needs (the non-collaboration/ sharing/ publication needs). Opening a similar outline in Google Docs Writely took around 6 seconds. Google Docs Writely is easier to use than Word already, but that's because it has much less features - so that's hard to compare.Īs for the speed, I just opened up an outline of a book in Word, which took around 3 seconds.
