Web Office Tools

Is this the future of all software products? What do you think?

After reading about, looking at and using google docs and zoho I am really impressed with with the quantity and quality of on-line applications available for collaborating. I don't think that all software products will end up on the web. Corporate and government security concerns might make it undesirable and intranets with more specialized software would make it unnecessary.

For students, non-profit groups and small businesses - along with many other groups that have characteristics such as geographic diversity, participants from different organizations, or low budget - these applications are useful and relatively easy for most computer users.

I published this directly from Google Docs. I notice that the title didn't end up in the title block. It's not orange like the others. And apparently there is a way to tag from Google Docs. I didn't try that out though.
