Not so much of a surprise given they've just announced there new OS

Thing that always worries me is what kind of company runs there office suite of the web, loose 'net connection loose all ability to do work.

 

Its about time Google leaves Beta. It was in there for too long and in that time the applications worked perfectly well and improvements were in the form of updates rather than a new Beta.

New OS, is that a good idea? That only means more work for developers of applications although admittedly having computer that can boot to the Internet in seconds is useful when you are in a rush and require the net NOW!

 

Most offices work through the internet in some shape or form. Aside from big corperations who have the infrastructure to maintain an internal network on site, most companies will connect to their intranets over the web. Also, the most likely reason for you to lose the net is through a power outage, in which case almost all work would stop anyway.

 

You can work offline with google gears. Keeps a synced copy locally.

 

WHINERS! Not again!
All I can say is: RTFM!

Anyways, my Gmail still says BETA in the logo.
