At this point, I am agreeing with Alec Saunders that AjaxWrite is more like an online WordPad that comes free with any Windows installation. Above is a simple comparison of the AjaxWrite interface and Microsoft Word. For the most part, a lot of the basic functionality is there, or atleast of what is visible on the front interface. It lacks features like spell checking, paragraph spacing, object formatting, etc.. In the screenshot, I have opened up an old document from a few months ago (a college paper) in both AjaxWrite and Word. It’s just a simple essay format, but AjaxWrite did have a little trouble with it. To some, this may not be much of a problem, but it wont cut it in the business world just yet. I deal with documents everyday for work and I must see exactly what my boss is to send me and my boss needs to see exactly what I send him they way it should appear. I’ll test around with a few other document types and see how things go. One thing that it’s got Microsoft Word beat on though is the saving as a PDF document (possible on a Mac, but not on Windows without an extension software). It will be interesting to see how it progresses. [...] [...] AjaxWrite is definitely moving things a step further, but it is far from becoming a full fledged word processor.
