      you forgot Central Desktop and Basecamp.

      Both are cheaper, easier and better.

    2. 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.

    3. 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
