Office in the Cloud: Google vs. Microsoft, June 2010

Lifehacker published an informative article comparing and contrasting the feature sets of Google Docs and Microsoft’s Office Web Apps.
I’ve been a dedicated Google Docs user for years now, and the fact that Microsoft’s Office Web Apps doesn’t offer any sort of collaboration features (which is Google Docs’ strongest feature!) means that I won’t be switching anytime soon.

I was impressed, however, by some of the features that Microsoft’s Web Office suite is rolling out with:

  • 25 GB free cloud storage space (as opposed to Google’s 1GB free space)
  • Ability to use all of the fonts installed on your computer (assuming you’re running Windows, of course)
  • Full compatibility with existing Microsoft Office files (not much of a surprise but still a big deal for a lot of people)

Check out the article for the full scoop:
