Not really. OpenDocument may be a nice alternative archival format - but it will never replace .doc or .xls. The point is, however, despite my personal views on the format - Google is much more interested in getting a real program - not vaporware. iRows exists, today, I used it today. It's online right now - check it out - http://www.irows.com/ Wikicalc is vaporware. There's nowhere I can go signup and log in. I can download an alpha-prerelease - but that's not an online spreadsheet if I have to download it. If Google wanted a downloadable office suite - they'd use OpenOffice.org. We're talking about online stuff - like Writely. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ Because everyone loves free software! http://www.chadwsmith.com/ Because, admit it, you've got nothing better to do right now...
