Umm, actually you can revert to previous versions.

Google docs saves revisions of every edit: File -> Show Revision History (Could be slightly different, because i translated them from my localized google docs)

Well, not "so wrong". For example pic 10. Today we call it skype with webcamera. And it doesn't even need a footpedal. :)

The only thing is when you have black colors, it blends with the background. Take for example mickey: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7f/Mickey_M...

It's called OpenID. However it won't send you a link, but will just ask you to press "Yes, Log in" button.

Chrome 5.0.375.55 and it works for me. But it is not as snappy as google docs are.

Do they permit using this office live version in business?
Hard to agree as people from other countries may poorly understand English.

That's a big problem to learn computer in foreign language (If you had context menu with items: Afgdfguw, Eetgreg, Uga, Boo, which would you choose?)

If problems occur then, anyway, regular users are not those who would try and would fix them.

For an advanced user, sure, use language you want. And if you choose your native language and if you can't find a solution to your trouble, try different keywords. Or reinstall nVidia driver in english version.

English speakers will have a hard time to understand this.
