And they want us to use web based Word processors???

This report taken with the push to web2.0 makes me very nervous about the direction we are taking. If my business kept its data exclusively on the web and if my people used web based tools to do their work and if this model were the basis of our international economy then we will be at the mercy of the cyberterrorist who can hold our economy hostage.

And THIS is the #1reason to stick with office tools like MS Office or WordPerfect. Heck, even Open/StarOffice is installed locally.

For all the benefits of having an online word processor/spreadsheet/etc... the darn things are rendered 100% useless if someone decides to DDoS the site.
