Dont know if its going to have any impact whatsoever in anything other than home and novelty markets - I certainly cant see our management informtion team trying to do their erlang calculations on an online form.

well I supposed its the gradual release of the google operating system and back to centralised processing and cheap terminals everywhere...  Thats where theyre heading.

I just cant think how many people will want to use a spreadsheet system with a company whos policy is to never destroy information.  Experimental data is usually always kept in house and financial spreadhsheets are usually private.  Trying to think what else people use spreadsheets for other than the home user/school student who just wants to plot a quick graph.

home users, students, teachers, small companies, self emplyed, charities, unemployed. millions in porer parts of the world would also benefit.
