Zoho Ho! Week 8, #19


It seems like it could only be a matter of time before Microsoft Office was challenged. Zoho, a web-based alternative to the mighty document dictator, might prove MSOffice obsolete or force Microsoft to make their program even more user friendly...and cheaper. With Zoho, there's no expensive software to purchase. You simply sign up for a free account and go. Unfortunately, you do have to register for every different application (Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, etc.) but perhaps they'll bundle these in the future. Sharing documents, too, has never been easier. Kids (and adults) can collaborate on-line for group projects without worrying whether their programs are compatible for editing purposes.
So far, Zoho seems like a pretty cool thing. Easy, free and no more worries about that pesky "Is this a legitimate copy?" error from Microsoft. Mwahaha!

FYI - It seems you do not have to register for each application within GoogleDocs.
