It looks like Microsoft could have finally realized that the future of software is all about online applications. Microsoft has said that they might be considering launching an online free, ad supported version of its software. The software it might be planning on integrating for online usage is Microsoft Works, which retails for $50 currently. Works has a calendar, spreadsheet, web browser, and ...

I got an email this morning from ThinkFree Online (office suite) detailing the new features therein. On the off chance that you didn't get the same email (or spam-filtered it) here is the scoop: Quick edit is a new feature to compliment "Power Edit", meant more for drive-by writing than the whole 7-course meal, also easier blogging features are built right in now. ThinkFree office also is now ...

In this world filled recently with online spreadsheet and calendar applications, one enters the mix by making things difficult and a little complicated at first, but easier to get the hang of as time goes by. Dabble DB is free for a 30 day trial [with prices ranging from $10 to $150 month for corporate users]. It enables users to import their spreadsheets, contacts, and databases, as well as ...

PTab Spreadsheets is designed for Windows NT/2000, Pocket PC Smartphones, handhelds, and the new Motorola Q. Some handheld devices unfortunately can only open, and not edit Excel documents. This is where PTab comes into play. PTab can open, edit and create .XLS documents, with most of the functionality that Microsoft's Excel has. It is a little scaled back, but it does the trick. Z4Soft is ...

UneasySilence brings word of a little known page which appears to be offering rare and coveted invitations to Google Spreadsheet and online word processing application Writely. The site is still accepting applications (shoot them your email, they shoot you the invites) as of 9:45 MST. I haven't received mine yet, but the guys at Uneasy usually have pretty good stuff. The only other way for us ...

Every time Google launches (or buys) a cool new product, I'm a little nervous that that's the last thing we'll hear about it., i.e. Google will just leave it to gather dust. That was definitely my fear after the launch of Google Spreadsheets, but I'm happy to report that those fear appear to be unfounded. ZDNet blogger Garett Rogers is reporting that Google has rolled out a new version of ...

I tried budgeting once. I even wrote a simple Ruby on Rails app to help me. I only stuck with it for a couple of months, but I'm thinking maybe it's worth giving another shot, but this time with the proper tools. Get Rich Slowly (a blog I'm really loving) has a handy little pile of links for freely available Excel spreadsheets that will help you keep your finances under control. There are several ...

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 ...

I don't know how we missed this, but Voo2do is a very cool web-based time management spreadsheet, also known as a to do list. Well, it's more than that, obviously. And while it doesn't have all the yummy features of something like Backpack, it is pretty nice. There's something to be said for simplicity, at least. Most important, Voo2do added some features yesterday that really make it worth using. ...

If you've ever been curious about the first ever computer spreadsheet, you can download VisiCalc itself and give it a try. Dan Bricklin, inventor of the spreadsheet, received permission from Lotus who now own the copyright for VisiCalc to allow him to offer it for free on his website. The actual executable weighs in at a paltry 27 kilobytes, and would run on a PC from 1981 - in fact it is ...

So far this is the best online spreadsheet I've found, at least until that Office Live thing really kicks in. iRows has some critical features, like importing Excel files, CSV files, collaborative edits, and decent graphing capabilities. The site seems to work fine under Firefox 1.5 and IE 6, but Safari (as usual) had a few issues... No surprise there. One other neat trick: you can post your data ...
