I don't give Google my data, I am not going to give it to MS either. :(

That's really the problem with web based applications Rik, fine in theory but if individuals don't trust them then companies, especially the financial sector, are going to be very wary.

We've seen too much data loss by companies and Govts for me to ever want to trust my data with someone else, John. I can just imagine the conversation if my bank details got stolen after using an online app.  :shake:

One day, somewhere deep within the bowels of Microsoft, someone will have a revelation and Microsoft will integrate their spellchecker into IE8. That would be a thousand times more useful than Office on the net imho... well for the three of us using IE8 it would  :tongue: :)x

There's a 4th?  :eek4: Let them be outed, come out of the closet. In this day and age it's probably legal and nothing to be ashamed of!  :hide2:

I think they are waiting for a court case to establish legal precedent. ;D
