> Web tools are always going to be weak vs. locally executing tools. I've never seen one that I prefer to a native equivalent.

Sure, that's a fact which I don't dispute, but that doesn't mean that writing a word document in your browser should be such a bad experience that you really just want to use the web version for viewing documents, which is the absurd thing to which I responded. See, what you say is true, but that doesn't necessarily negate my point if you can agree?

Word is not Photoshop, I expect the web version to be powerful enough to get serious writing done via it.

I don't. I expect MSFT to make a hash of it, and to do so in an environment (a browser) that I've never found equal to the task of "getting out of the way and letting me write."
