Thought titled Who Will Be Your Web Office Provider? this Read/WriteWeb article by Bernard Lu also has a comparison of which office productivity tools are more useful and which are not. Excel wins hands down and Word is a looser.
Let's now look at the question: what parts of Microsoft Office are replaceable with Web Office parts?
1. Word. It is often frustrating and it is the least stable of the bunch. ...
2. Powerpoint. This is also becoming increasingly irrelevant.
3. Outlook. Replacing Outlook would give some withdrawal pangs, but I can probably deal with it.
4. Excel. This is one program where Microsoft did an absolutely outstanding job. It enables a very high degree of sophistication, without overwhelming the novice/occasional user. Lots of start-ups talk about creating a programming environment that non-programmers can use, but Excel is the one that actually fulfills this promise. It seems to be stable. It is also the most natural candidate for collaboration as version control; with say 5 people updating a forecast, is a real pain and it is so easy to lock at the cell level.
