I'm a Mac

The initial thought bubble that appears over my head after taking the tour of Google Docs looked something like this: "Where was this when we were working on the digital imaging strategic plan?"

The Google Docs tour, however, seemed a little too good to be true and I decided to search for criticism of the application. I found a wiki about Google Docs that listed some of the pros and cons. Apparently some of the features of Google Docs are not compatible with the Mac. I use a PC at work and a Mac at home and I'm not confident about the mobility between machines with this application. At least you can get MS Office for the Mac. The wiki was last updated 1 December 2007 and a lot can change in a year, but the wiki did mention problems with both the Safari and Firefox browsers.

Another article also emphasizes the obvious drawbacks such as security, offline access, and unavailability of Google Docs. I'd have to see Google Docs in action to really see how it compares to using MS Office. I'm willing to try it once.
