[...] Google have just bought Writely so we can expect their challenge to Microsoft’s Office products on the horizon, but AjaxWrite has launched this week and the Net is talking about it. Creator Michael Robertson says that for 90% of the world’s population, the need to buy Microsoft Word just vanished. There are those who agree. [...]

I agree that the criticism being displayed here is harsh, but at the same time I can see that the lack of a few of crucial features (that everyone takes for granted for any kinda of half decent document production) are missing.
Things like page breaks, headers/footers, page numbering and some basic form of TOC.
Also I dont see how hugely different this is from the numerous Rich Text/HTML Editors that area already out there e.g. FCK Editor.

harsh criticisms y’all. it’s a simple online word processor. that simple. it’s working perfectly for me. yeah, we all have Word on our laptops, but wouldn’t it be great not to have to install the bloated MS-ware on EVERY machine in the house?

“That may be true, but at some point I expect Microsoft to come out with ad supported versions of their own clients…”

They’re going to buy on of these AJAX writers, and they’re going to probably brand it Microsoft Word Live Edition.

[...] AJAX Write, un’altra sfida a Office Live March 24th, 2006 by Fabiolino Non abbiamo fatto in tempo a vedere Writely passare sotto le ali di Google, ed ecco spuntare un nuova applicazione web di videoscrittura (NfF benché senza feature collaborative a quanto pare). AjaxWrite, an online Ajax version of Word, is the newest entrant into the online office space. It opens and saves documents in Word format (you can also save in PDF), has good basic functionality and is fairly fast. “But ajaxWrite is just the start. We have a library of applications we have been working on to replace most of the standard PC software titles. Every week we will launch a new sophisticated program on Wednesday at 12:00 PST on ajaxlaunch.com. These programs will push the boundaries of what people believe is possible today with web-delivered software. These programs look and operate much like their traditional software cousins, but are cross-platform, loaded dynamically, and are available to users at no charge. I’m convinced if you try a few of these products you will understand how the software business will fundamentally change.” ajaxWrite is the first launched product.” Link: http://www.lins...xwrite.phpFonti: techcrunch, slashdot, downloadblog.it [...]

I think the main reason for web apps like this is not to reduce the cost of buying Office products, it’s for ease of use. If I’m out and about I want the ability to go anywhere and create documents/content, not have to carry around a laptop with x number of programs installed.

Services such as this are great as they allow me to do that (although I agree this needs a bit more testing!)

ajaxWrite – notepad online… so what?…

I just checked out ajaxWrite since it was soo hyped the last days. But seriously, who cares about this online notepad version? This application will NOT replace Word or any other word processer anytime soon. As long as you have Notepad on Windows or so…

Man, this Michael Robertson guy is really pissing me off: He’s huffing and puffing up all this noise for what ? A mediocre buggy online texteditor ?
Come on, there are far better alternatives around for several years now. I’m a big advocate of online apps, but this is just way premature for release: it’s making the online office concept look bad.

People abandoning MS Word? I’ve been promoting that for years but it’s not going to happen.

Comparing this product to Word is rediculous. It has less features than WordPad! Without a page break feature, I don’t see anybody ever using this seriously.

As for competing with Word, we have seen before (OpenOffice.org) that even a good word processor can’t compete with Word as long as it doesn’t support every bell and whistle Word supports. When users open a Word document they received, and they see lines ending up on other pages, or the macros don’t work, they will leave the product again.

That is the real power of Word. Make it as difficult as possible to exactly render the same as Word, and as long as Word-users keep sending their Word documents to other people, everybody will need Word… (Apart from a few techies who don’t mind some small weird changes in the layout.)
