Michael Robertson's
ajaxLaunch is trying hard to keep up the buzz from the launches of its web-based word processor
ajaxWrite and drawing app
ajaxSketch, and today it's launched
ajaxXLS, a web-based spreadsheet app. ajaxXLS looks promising, and
will no doubt look familiar to Excel users, but having spent a few minutes with it I can already tell ajaxXLS is far
from finished. In fact, it's downright hard to use and seems like it would be infuriating to anyone trying to switch
from Excel. Some of its issues might just be due to high opening day user load, but much of it just seems buggy or
incomplete. Here's hoping Robertson can turn ajaxXLS into something usable; at present it's uninspiring.
