But, in fear of being a wet blanket, what’s it for? Even more so is this scaleable? I don’t think so.

Word pad does a better job and is quicker than the ‘word processor’ and I can use my webdings fonts on wordpad and print to my printer in seconds in A3 or whatever. I don’t use spreadsheets much but I imagine there a 6 billion free ones out there that do a better job. The only occasional thing I use a spreadsheet for is graphs, and it doesn’t seem to do this, I imagine it will soon, but this will be even slower, a roundtrip to the server will be necessary to create the .gif or .jpg or whatever.

Also, who’d want to rely on using javascript to do any important calculations? It’s only single precision, i.e. it will lose dollars and cents.

I agree that it’s amazing technology, as a proof of concept that you can even do this stuff, my techie hat is doffed. But the idea, that this is somehow better or can even compete with Office, well I want some of whatever there smoking, it’s good stuff.

I’d like someone to say no I’m wrong, and here’s why, because I must be missing something.
