Guide Review - Google Docs
There's not much I don't like about Google Docs. I still find myself using Microsoft Word but if there are documents I'm sharing for work or with family then Google Docs is the way to go.
If you have a fast Internet connection and don't have a great need for all the bells and whistles of a traditional word processing software than save yourself hundreds of dollars and sign up for the free Google Docs.
