Writely

Writely.com is Google's answer to MS Word. Google has acquired Writely recently. This is an online version and is absolutely free. One more weapon in Google's Armoury! Looks like Google's slowly building up capability, piece by piece, making it all free and preparing to pull the plug on Microsoft's cash cows! What next? A Google OS?

Quoting from Writely's page.

Seriously.. people here at ISB need to start using this software and the spreadsheet software from Google. Its modifiable by multiple people.. and allows version control! Definitely beats mailing around word documents to everyone to modify, and then submitting the wrong version at the last minute!
