Earlier this month, Ray Ozzie wrote a fascinating article on the need for some kind of universal clipboard that would enable copy and paste between Office 2.0 applications. Paul Boag and Anil Dash hosted interesting discussions on the subject, which helped me better appreciate the challenge raised by Mr. Ozzie. To make a long story short, I believe that lack of proper support for copy and paste might be the nastiest bug plaguing the concept for Office 2.0, and one that will take years to get properly fixed. To be fair, this bug was never really fixed for Office 1.0 either, so we do not have to do a perfect job there, but the sooner we start, the earlier we will have a working solution. Needless to say, this one made it into my Office 2.0 bug tracker.
