For a long time I`ve been a bit annoyed with having all these applications installed on my PC for various stuff. None of them are connected to each other, so I had to open one, do stuff, save it, open in another and do something else with it. I realise that for work I do native applications are essential, because they need processing power to create and render, but there are thing I do very seldom. Things like word processing, spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations.
So it dawned on me that I can jump ship. Google Docs have become very powerful. They offer all the functionality that a regular user needs. And the cool thing is they are always available and accessible from everywhere through a web client and mobile apps. I know that Docs have been around for ages and I was looking at it but as I had MS Office installed I never used their services.
So today I uninstalled Office. For good. I uploaded my documents to Google Docs and they work. My complex spreadsheet retained all the functions and cross-references.
