Hi all,
I know some of you will be quick in labeling me as a Google fan, Googlite, Google-whore, whatever other terms there are right now. But, this is more of a genuine appreciation of a company which has consistently tried to make things easier for its users rather than harder like some companies (*cough* M----soft *cough*). Just recently, Google Docs had a complete overhaul of its User Interface. The new look is much like MS Word with a toolbar on the top, but less bugs..
All the menus at the top are much clearer than before. None of the features are hidden or hard to use as there were before. For example, spell check was quite elusive, but now is much more apparent. Combine that with amazing features such as real time group editing, version control, revision saving, and you got yourself a very powerful and lightweight Office Suite.
P.S. For those of you who did not know, each of your documents is constantly saved at regular intervals. Now unlike Word, these saves are not overwritten, but rather are saved separately. So you can always go back and find a earlier version of your document. Quite a useful feature if you ask me.
Also, a link to Google's annoucement: http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-toolbar-and-menus.html
Thats all for now,
