Oftentimes, the biggest bother of testing a new software product is the cumbersome login process. And if you dont already have a login, you have to go through the excruciating registration process, which may last all of 60 seconds, but you would do anything to get around. Google just saved you that, and made trying Google Docs super simple! All you need to do is visit the demo page of Google Docs (http://docs.google.com/demo/) and have a document open in front of you, which you can start typing in right away. That's SIMPLE in capital letters. Click on that link and see for yourself. If you want to collaborate in real time with others, you need to just share the link with others, and you can all be typing in the same document real time. That's as cool as cool gets. But although testing Google Docs got easier, the fact remains that it may not appeal to others that are used to the more powerful authoring features of Microsoft Office. Upgrading to Office 2010 is an option for people who want Office AND co-authoring. If you have older versions of MS Office (2007, 2003) worry not, you can use an online document manager like HyperOffice.
