“Cloud computing is all the rage these days. But while
the idea of using your browser to access your applications and
documents sounds like a great idea on paper, in practice there are
all kinds of reasons to stick to your desktop software. Take
OpenOffice.org, for example. None of the available Web-based word
processors can compete with Writer when it comes to features and
flexibility. But even if you don’t subscribe to the idea of
ditching OpenOffice.org in favor of a Web-based productivity suite
like Google Docs or Zoho Docs, you can still put some useful
Web-based services to some practical use.“One of the key issues when working with documents on your
machine is to keep them safe and accessible from any machine.”
