Since Ismael Ghalimi first took the plunge, (anyone out there who did it even before him?), it is becoming quite frequent now for others to try getting rid of one's desktop based software and live on a strict 'web-based productivity applications on a browser' diet. Oliver Rist of InfoWorld is the latest. He lived for a week like that here's his final verdict :
Zoho is definitely the standout in the group. It’s the only one that not only offers most of the apps I need but also seems to have a clear vision of where it’s going. And it’s free. ThinkFree and gOffice are similar, but neither has the breadth of apps, features, or collaboration that Zoho does.
There are a lot more insights in his very nice & elaborate article titled "Can Web-based applications outwit, outplay, outlast the desktop?". Thanks a lot, Oliver & InfoWorld!
