I’ve been rally hyping on office suites for their use as free and quick (no set-up required) document manager and collaboration software. So far I’ve only really used Google Docs and Spreadsheets until I stumbled upon a few others that you might want to consider.
Here they are:
The good part is that all of them are free! And for a roundup of their features:
Google Docs and Spreadsheets

you forgot Central Desktop and Basecamp.
Both are cheaper, easier and better.
Sorry, Obama. I’d like to clarify, “cheaper?” The ones I mentioned above are fully functional at no cost. Unlike Basecamp and Central Desktop which have more features but requires sign-ups and fees to get hold of all of them.
The ones I featured above are free. I’m more into looking at those that entail no cost all. Saving even $20 is still saving. Thanks for the heads-up though. I’m sure readers would also be interested in paid collaborative software.
I think speed being a main factor in determining the success of an online office suite, it is worth considering upcoming players like edeskonline.com https://www.edeskonline.com/index_online_office.asp
It seems more comprehensive than the rest of these with an Online Accounting Package and an inbuilt tax calculator.
One good thing about www.edeskonline.com/index_online_office.asp
is that it is free. Additionally, it has accounting : which is absent in all other suites
