Office 2010 Online Thoughts

[manjyoumethunder]

.. iWork online is in beta, and doesn't allow you to edit documents online, only view them, it's total garbage. And Microsoft Office Live Workspace is free.

[rubik224]

i think MS is doing this so their current customers don't move else where.

[sunnz]

That's how MS does thing, it doesn't matter if they are the last to have it, as long as they have it and grabs as much market share and control as they can. That's their business model.

[ASCII808]

yes they put the popular features in their products. I am sure they had many great ideas for features in each product, but they don't put them in their right away. its nice to have full compatibility in any product. its a good reason why I use the VLC player, it works with many formats. also the 123 player, mplayer.

[sunnz]

minWin and WinFS look great as well and seem to be unique from MS, too bad they don't always give the go ahead for dev's.

[guyver2095]

The " problem" with Open Office is that there are some functions that you have to add in separate files like some search in spreadsheet, but once you understands that, everything is possible.

im starting to hate microsoft, vista crashed on me a few days ago, im thinkin about getting a mac ot running linux

what would you perfer sam?

linux or mac

[blackturtleshow]

Interesting discussion! I'm no fan of M$ and prefer to avoid their products whenever possible!

[LegendOfAndrew]

The EU would have a hissy fit if Microsoft and Google partnered in any shape in form and try and fine them for a trillion pounds or something.

I mean, yes, I can understand how they want people to have a choice of web browser, but it's completely unessesscary in that your average computer user feels safe with IE and dosen't want to try and figure out a new, even if it is better, browser.

I thought Office 2010 online was free. Why are you saying it's $400?

Also, isn't the point of Office 2010 the online collaboration of Word, Excel, etc.. in real time with multiple users? Also, the access when not at your computer?

Also, don't confuse corporate with small business guys like me that purchase their own software. Small business makes up about 50% of the U.S. economy.

[SamueltehG33k]

Its free with the use of the $400 Office auite come on man this is MS we're talking about

[antimarxism]

WRONG!!! You don't have to purchase ANY office software.

You need to make another video admitting your mistake. This is a major flub on your part. It only takes a 10 second Google search to prove you wrong.

[SamueltehG33k]

Nope thats for the Ad supported version and it only includes powerpoint word and excel to get the full version youhave to buy the $400 office suite. Also i the future they are rumors you'll need a paid live account to run it the Beta is free.

[antimarxism]

It is free to anyone with a Live account.

Office Web is stripped down, lighter versions of Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint.

I've looked through about 20 articles now and see nothing of what you are talking about. There is only one version of Office Web for consumers and it includes 4 apps with some limitations on video editing ability.

You are confused by the bundling and release dates of Office 2010 and Office Web. They are only related in the dates and promos.

[High120]

sorry for my stupidity but i thought the owner of google was B.Gates?

[Ne0nLiteZ]

he didnt say you HAVE to buy office software? hes talking about if you want a legal version of ms's office suite you have to buy it.

[antimarxism]

He said: "The office suite this is packaged with is $400. Now OpenOffice and GoogleDocs are FREE. So I can do everything with that $400 suite for FREE except make good powerpoints."

This is wrong and misleading for many reasons. One of which is that the only missing feature from Office Web Powerpoint is video editing.

He is also implying that Office Web is only sold as a package. Why even mention the package, or the $400, when you don't have to buy it? Why not compare apples to apples?

[sunnz]

Really? So if I create an .odt in OO and send it through it should just works?

[tytig94]

bing sucks i still use google and mozzila

[crammage]

lol

[naderjunction]

They were competing before Chrome, and MS has always said they were working on the internet and search (ie. live search, msn search, etc). Get your facts bro.

[SamueltehG33k]

not directly they were competting with yahoo more back then

[lbayo12]

i can imagine u dragging and planning the stuff that your gona throw

[Daschuk123]

i know that this doesnt relate to what you said but you know how you said that the online friends list for the Ps3 is a mess? well if you press triangle you can see at the top right hand corner of the screen it gives you options to organize your friends list. Although there is only 2-3 options

[Prygst]

I like Bing better than Ask though. But Google is still my favorite search engine.

[droadtrip]

5 stars automatically for tossing the Microsoft box behind you!

[oobent]

lol 0.48

[windowspczone]

It just means that when people say "Well Google has Google Docs, which is online, with you all the time" people can also say now "Microsoft also do this, with Office Live"

[IndiMusicLover]

I like how you've been switching it up with the hats.

[hord]

i prefer a hard copy software, so being able to save online at home and then work at school online i will love. Im defo going to buy this! The features between offline and online will make it unique and great!

[Montysreaper]

I do believe it us a waste of time what ms are doing.

[Armando51roosters]

MS office will always be used just like their operating systems. There is just no point on choosing the other products. I mean, when was the last time you seen a Non-Windows computer in a business? Because I haven't seen any.

[SamueltehG33k]

yes I work at one. Most news papers, graphic design, aand magazines use macs

[downphoenix]

Well Office is the best program. Im personally fine with Openoffice and Google Docs, but I can see why Office is important, businesses have to have it.

[lolwut15]

lol

[killingman22]

WATCH OUT FOR GOOGLE IMAGES

under google do not use there images i clicked on one and it took me to a site that automaticly downloaded a vires now there are these porn sites that keep poping up

[jake7x7]

the only good thing that came from MS is xbox

[snakeoo]

I would never pay for office, it fucking sucks $400, what a joke, I don't understand why people pay for that shit.

[PoPwar1993]

for buisinesses, $400 isn't even pocket change. Hell, it's less than pocket lent to them.

[JamesManes]

400 dollars wont install on all computers. They would need MS server shits.

[Vanir101]

"Bing" is the future :p

[yaitsaaron]

sound like a fag already supporting shitty microsoft

[SamueltehG33k]

[JamesManes]

LOL Samuel an MS fanboy. Wow... he could not be more wrong.

[PoPwar1993]

rofl ps3 retard fanboys already going off on you for a video that isn't even supporting microsoft. this video isn't even gaming related, why the hell are they even here?

[sean007s]

LOL what a retard.

[ChriyR]

What ? Fags 4 Life , Yeah , Why would I want to be in Fags 4 Life

[ChriyR]

Google Chrome OS ! I Might Dual boot with Windows 7 If I Ever get it !

Elpresdor SUCK IT !!

[JamesManes]

Agreed. MS office on OS X sucks asscake. iWork ftw in my opinion. I like openoffice too.

Well google chorme 3 kicked safari and everyones ass by outbenching them 8 fold. I guess I'll use chrome when it is out of beta for the mac.

[PoPwar1993]
