Microsoft Office has dominated the landscape for Office suites for quite a while now.  It looks like this could change however.  OpenOffice is maturing into a competitive alternative,  as is Apple's iWork but at the same time we are also seeing a new trend.  As wider access becomes available to hi speed internet,  and as browsers evolve into more capable applications,  we are seeing the emergence of onine office suites that offer an array of advantages.  Collaboration is one of them which many Engineers would find useful.  Google Docs has been around for a while now and works quite nicely,  especially in how they tie it in with their other products such as GMail but there are also others such as Zoho and Thinkfree. 

Now a new contender has entered the market with a product called Live Documents. The product has been developed by Sabeer Bhatia,  who was also the man responsible for Hotmail back in 1996.  It is said to be very close in interface to Microsoft Office and also to have just about all the functionality.
