Comments on: Google Docs ventures closer to Word territory with print view

Google Docs edges closer to the behemoth that is MS Word, with a long sought-after editing view.

Or you could just use Buzzword .... I've never understood the fascination with Google Docs. It's little more than a web based Microsoft wordpad, and its useless for serious word processing. The addition of a print preview function doesn't put Google Docs anywhere near the power of Word. Buzzword, on the other hand, comes much closer. It's a much more practical application in that it duplicates many of the most important and useful functions of Word in a beautiful and easy to use interface. Don't waste your time in the stone age...give Buzzword a try. It's the future of web processing.

Yeah right. Since when has Word been powerful, it is just a Word Processor. No big deal. The real power is in languages like PHP and Word is just a program for users who are not technically minded and have too much money. Google Docs is completely usable and does the job of Word processing just fine. Buying OWrd so you can have some more features is like paying 80% more to get 20% more functionality. Honestly just how powerful is a Word Processor. Come on.

I guess Michigan State U won't care. Look at what they are doing, banning all online software as a service. http://tmccune.blogspot.com/2008/05/go-to-michigan-state-for-stone-age.html
