As for know, apps. like zoho writer and others are free and available for other than just smart rich college kids, and others who feel that it's good with virtual no competition, and sub products made to make the rich richer. We at Orca feels it's time to throw down the gauntlet and therefore challenge the regimes that runs the computer business at the moment. You can't take them on they're already too big for that. First step is making everything that counts available via a so called web top.

It will start with personal users, and small businesses (1-5 people) and keep gradually gaining more market share as technology improves. Also - imagine if you will, the ability for you to Docs and Spreadsheets (while offline) and still be able to use the app. This offline use is something I believe is in the pipes for these various office suite apps.

Thanks. While you are definitely right about the user experience, I think there is also another critical factor that will prevent online office suits to work for anyone but private users. IMHO the main issue with public online office suites is the trust a company has to put in the provider of the service. It is a matter of control. Since office documents can contain sensitive data, they are assets that should be kept at servers under the control of the company rather than an worldwide accessible online service. Editing or, even worse, storing them online circumvents your admins security measures to keep your data integrity intact. You have to trust the online service to keep your files virusfree, versioned, backupped, rights managed and since its an online service - available. I can already see the headlines "Service xy hacked. Thousand of documents stolen.", "Service XY down. Hundreds of companys cut off their data" or "Service XY employee sold company data to competitors". Sure, this can happen to your company without using an online office suite, but the impact is much bigger once everyone starts to give control to one single or a few selected online services.
