It loads much faster for me and AjaxWrite had some issues. I tried AjaxWrite, but I prefer Zoho Writer. It loads much faster for me and AjaxWrite had some issues.

It sports a user interface very similar to the one popularized by Microsoft Word, and I tend to believe that such a design choice will be required to convert existing Word users, even though the Google-like approach favored by Zoho Writer might actually lead to improved end-user productivity. Multiple stylesheets that go beyond color schemes and provide radically different user interfaces on top of the same infrastructure might be the answer on the long run: get existing Microsoft Office users converted through the use of an Office-like user interface, then let them upgrade to a Web 2.0 model with a single mouse click.

I use Writely for most things that don't require complex formatting, because I move around among a work computer, my laptop and home machine. It's convenient as heck. (Of course I don't belong to any subversive organizations, unless you count the ACLU and Mensa.) ps: As it is, they work pretty well.

It's ideal for students, for example, who don't have laptops and have to share computers. Let's hope that Mike's folks continue to improve on it. It's intended to fill a niche, not put the 100% web-based apps out of business. Nor is the purpose to put M$ behind the 8-ball, although the hype would lead you to think so. We have webmail (Yahoo's comes to mind, in addition to Gmail - have you looked at Y! lately?) that is quite competitive, yet no one's worrying about the death of Outlook, Eudora and TBird - at least not yet. Remember that Robertson is the guy behind MP3.com and Linspire. He doesn't usually back losers. (And if you think Linspire is a loser, download Linspire Live and use it for a day or two, pretending you're not a geek. It's not meant for geeks.) IMNSHO, the thing that will make all these things completely viable and a threat will be (a) universal broadband and (b) really secure on-the-fly encryption/decryption for the web, that's simple to use. Once fast access and transmission that's truly secure (unless the opposition has a Cray) is available, these web applications will explode.

It isnt much more then your basic DHTML WYSIWYG editor. Like I said in the post: "I feel that the strong point with AjaxWriter though is that you can open and save any Word, RTF, Text, and even PDF documents online without needing any additional software and for free. It is that which seperates it from your usual online WYSIWYG editor." It is the open and save options that got me and that is the main reason I like it really. Otherwise, its nothing special.. although the tabbing is nice too. Anonymous, I actually completely agree with you. It isnt much more then your basic DHTML WYSIWYG editor. Like I said in the post:
