Comment Version control (Score 2) 628
One of the big reasons that I might be interested in a web based word application is version control. How many times have you had a document get out of date and emailed around and basically totally messed up? Microsoft is attempting to address this with Sharepoint but last time I used it when your word document opened up in IE it felt wrong and things didn't save right, it was a mess.
It seems like there are a few wikis out there (JotSpot) that try to give users the feel as though they are editing a word doc but as a JotSpot user I can report that they still have some bugs to iron out, after struggling with the GUI editor I just use the text editor with wiki markup. Google could make some waves in this space.
