Commonsense! Please get rid of MS Office!
Please do NOT copy anything MS Office has leave
this lethargic conglomeration of software vendors
MS purchased and created the 2G office suite
that is full of security holes.

I hope they go their own route and NO one needs
a office suite that cost $400+$700 for a company
seat period.

Man, if all you do is sit around formating documents to print on 8.5x11  DonnieBoy | 10/22/09
No - that is what Google Docs is good for...if you want to collaborate  socialism=nowhere | 10/22/09

Agree...and we have Google Docs in house tied  socialism=nowhere | 10/22/09
Small business..  prof123 | 10/22/09
And, for 99%, the right tool is to pay an outside firm to host it.  DonnieBoy | 10/22/09
We have tried that model - it has failed....I'm guessing  socialism=nowhere | 10/22/09
