Adding more to the comment by Dennis D. McDonald: How about reliability? If your ISP is down during the critical hour of your presentation. What’s the solution to manage this? One more thing is related to security: does online collaboration by mistake can cause security breaches?

[…] When I started my little experiment with Office 2.0 on December 4 of last year, I did not really expect it to work out so well. Reality is, Office 2.0 is turning into a working alternative much faster than I thought it would, and many other people are coming to the same conclusion.

“Mr. CIO, have you read Google’s policy statement?”

Dennis, you’re asking very valid questions. Here are some quick answers:
