After I created my first word document I was greeted with this pleasant ad next to my list of web documents:
We all know that Microsoft gains ground when they copy from other people so they should take a look at how Google uses ads in their office apps because this ad horrible and puts a bad face on their product. It looks like the poorly designed large ads that are on Hotmail and MSN have found their way into the office apps.
Ads aside, the actual office apps editors looks like they have a lot of promise. The user interface is a bit slow and clunky. Looking at the features, Google Apps give you more. It will be interesting to see how Microsoft develops this because competition is good.
