A while back I wrote about web word processing application Writely, which had just been purchased by Google. It?s now been fully adopted by Google and is now simply marketed as . Now 37signals, the guys who make Ta-da List, have come up with ?Writeboard? another free web-based word processing application.
It?s features are very much the same as Writely so why not check out their homepage and take a tour to see which is for you.
If web-based word-processing applications are not for you and you prefer to have the actual software on your computer then another blow was dealt to Microsoft when earlier this month Tesco announced it was to launch it?s own budget line of PC software offering six packages, including office software, security systems and a photo editing tool, each of which would retail for less than £20.
Is this the end of MS Office?? I doubt it.
I can see in the years to come that operating systems and applications will slowly vanish and change into web-apps.
