AskWoody LoungerYou might want to practice this a bit before working on important documents. Play around with dueling edits — see whose edits, typed in simultaneously, take precedence over another’s. In general, it’s easy to stay on top of the changes — in real time on your netbook, MacBook Air, iPhone, Galaxy Tab, or other Web-connected device.
I’m rather curious, why the omission of MS surface tablets? Doesn’t Google Apps work with surface?

AskWoody LoungerI do not care much for subscription bases software solutions. As someone who uses only the basic power of Office 2007 I will probably be moving to Google Docs or Libreoffice when 2007 support ends. MS is using 365 to milk the last $$$ out of their product, I see no earth shattering changes between 2007 and 2013 office. Since they cannot improve it enough anymore to justify an upgrade by most users now they will just charge you and update only if they feel like it. (Think IE 6’s long lifespan) Users of 365 will be using antiquated software and still paying for it because there is no incentive to improve it if the money is still rolling in.
