Google Docs is the best in terms of being able to share files with other Google users for real-time editing. That is irreplaceable. Besides, leaking personal information is a price I'm willing to pay for having my essay edited real time. There's nothing for me to hide. It's just an essay. And if they send it to turnitin.com for me - all the better so I will never be plaigarized from. ;) That’s true but I already have Microsoft Word for basic use.

Open Office (OS independent, but rather sluggish) In my experience, most open source software can provide matching and <em>better</em> applications for your regular computing needs at the affordable price of offering your participation in making your software better (if you choose to participate that is).

Whoever said education makes you smarter was sadly mistaken, I am getting an a-level in cutting and sticking as my Mam likes to put it (A Level Graphic Design).

I never used it before, but knew that there is the ability to share documents with other. A friend of mine prepared an info document for a party and passed it around. I like the idea of accessing documents from everywhere. Additionally, this is the first time I ever hear about the Flesch Reading Ease and I am very eager to now the grade level of my posts and other documents ;-) I never knew Google Docs was that functional!
