Google (Half) Docs
I really like Google Docs - for early stage collaboration, it's been an outstanding tool for some months now on various projects, but there's a big downside to it being used as an Office (Or OpenOffice/NeoOffice such as we use these days) replacement with the current file size limitations.
A single document we were working on this week earlier had to be split into 6 separate Google Docs for collaboration on - a total pain in the behind. (A thumbdrive may have been more efficient in the end, but a lot of the collaborative data and text was coming from parallel web pages). Our current business plan master document is over 3mb not including financials, so a 5ookb file size limit just isn't going to cut it.
Oh well, there's always NeoOffice which frankly after many years of buying expensive MS Office products, the current open-source releases are actually good enough for Enterprise use.
