microsoft have had easy for far to long, unfortunately for them people now realise theres no need to fork out hundreds of dollars for a stupid money spinning update
Their version of the word processor is more comparable to Windows write than MS word. Their spreadsheet feels like lotus 123 v1, for example try de-duping rows. You can't, this feature plus others just aren't there.
There's a couple of interesting features, like the mentioned document sharing and you can add "live" data to your documents like stock quotes and google search results...
.. but overall, I can't use it. It's not nearly powerful enough.
can some one help everytime i go into my docs it says and quote "your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users we can't process your request right now
We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to mak sure that your systems r free of viruses * other spurious softwr
Editing a word doc in google.docs seems rather archaic, especially if your original doc had different bullet styles, tables, and other images. Does anyone else feel that editing a doc within Google docs is rather restrictive and non-user friendly or am I missing some feature?
But I don't want Google owning my work, and I don't know if I'm necessarily going to have an internet connection. The former is the most important factor that this is destined for failure.
cool, but it would be nice if you could do a video in the future actually showing off some of the features of google docs. and i'd just like to add, the share feature is actually really useful for group projects!
Google Docs is great for documents, and spreadsheets, but Presentation support has a LONG way to go. No effects, no transitions and, worst of all, you CAN'T download the presentation back to powerpoint after you've edited it. What's the point?
Turkers have been using google doc spreedsheat to keep track of the NowNow race for more than a year. For any work related doc that need to be shared between a group of peoples it a amazing.

@DerelictDreams I'm sure there is a real time draft saving option just google does with the emails. Saves the email with in seconds of you pausing.

Google spreadsheet is not powerful enough. You cannot do advanced calculations and analysis.

The trouble is, it really isn't that good.

Oh, and the Presentations software doesn't even let you bring in chunks of text at a time, or animate them. Completely misses the point.

Can multiple users work concurrently on the document, such as different chapters? Or is it limited to one user access at a time?

Multiple users can work on document at once as far as I understand.
