How delightful it was to say goodbye to Microsoft Word - as miserable a piece of software as ever was. With tools like that who needs enemies?
The newly updated Docs seems like Google positioning hard for the crown in the pretty heavyweight category of wordprocessing - before the contestants even got on their little, been counting feet.
