Many people are familiar with Google Docs, but Microsoft has something similar called Office Web Apps. The release came early this summer, years after that of Google Docs. While both services are free and offer similar programs, they aren’t quite identical. The appeal of Google Docs is primarily that it replaces Microsoft Office and presents the same type of software. The added benefit of these programs is that they allow greater mobility and collaboration. While Google Apps is a substitute, Office Web Apps appears more to be a supplement. It definitely has more features, yet Google Apps is simpler to use.
It is important to keep in mind what you will be using these programs for, such as if speed, advanced features, or collaboration is most important. If storing a file in a shared space is of primary value, then could computing software is your best bet.
