The widget allows you to share your uploaded documents very easily, and recent Zoho integration allows for documents to be edited within the browser itself. If you're interested in file sharing and online collaboration, Box.net is definitely a service to take a look at. Yet another alternative for these functions is Box.net.

Thanks for not only stepping in and clarifying, but offering some help in evaluating. My aim is to keep things as simple as possible, as many Salesteamtools.com readers have no idea of the difference between AJAX and Java. I appreciate you highlighting the key point: the system can be much faster than my experience showed, depending on how you use it. Thanks again Andrew. Andrew,

The AJAX version is (obviously) faster than the Java tool that you tried. Conversely, the Java (Power Edit) can handle much larger files. One thing that I think you should always include in any study of MS Office alternatives, is round trip compatibility with Office. Since Office is firmly entrenched as the dominant player for the foreseeable future, being compatible with those products is critical to the value of any alternative.
