Google docs Offline

Google

Starting today and over the coming weeks Google are rolling out offline editing access to word processing documents to Google Docs users.

The Google docs team has a real affinity for free-spirited types ( in their own words), and so they have spent allot of time thinking up ways to make Google Docs friendlier even to people on the go. If you’re one of those, you already know how you can access your Google Docs from anywhere, how nice it is to avoid having to email yourself files or back up docs with a thumbdrive, and how easily you can collaborate with others.

Whilst this is a welcome move, to claim that Google docs is in a position to replace MS Office in the enterprise is laughable at this point. Whilst the word processor is adequate the Excel clone is frankly laughable when compared with excel.

Dont get me wrong offline access is great but these tools are novelty rather than usefull at this point.
