As a part of the install, they might have a small webserver or some software which would run on the local PC, and work with the browser!..........the whole point is,........it should be independent of the platform! Lets wait and see :) Btw, check this : http://theinquirer.net/?article=26734 It may not be purely a web based application !

Apart from the mediocrity of Openoffice itself, can you imagine something as bloated actually running in a browser without crashing, and working in IE, Firefox, Opera? A 100k Javascript will bring browsers to their knees, how on earth will a few megs of code run properly? I hate web interfaces, Ajax or not, because they're clunky, slow and prone to crashes. And I wouldn't trust my documents to Google or Sun instead of storing them locally. Can you imagine the security implications of having your corporate files stolen if a hacker broke into their servers.

I love Google's products and philosophy. It would emerge a winner if it continues doing "Do no evil" as it grows. And oh yes, AJAX, that's one exciting thing that I am currently working on personally and want to do and see more of that stuff. I am excited too. I love Google’s products and philosophy.
