That is only one part of the pie though. Many are fearful of giving one company too much *access* to the data. It's one thing to use all Google or all Microsoft, but another thing entirely to allow a company to have access to everything. If you standardize on Microsoft, they don't have access to all of your information, but Google does (because it's on their servers). You have to trust their "do no evil" mantra to put everything on their systems. The other issue is upgrades. If you're using Microsoft (or any other local installable software) chances are it's not going to change unless you tell it to (via an upgrade or something). Google can update their features and interface any time they want. With installed software, you can train people how to use it and it all always be the same. With web software it can change any time and you have no real way to plan for retraining and adapting to those changes on your own schedule. There are pros and cons to either method of working and you just have to do whatever works best for you. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:294590 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
