The features of Zoho Writer are impressive, it looks great, and it is very easy to use - all of which are critical if it is intended to replace Office. Zoho Writer's redesign works brilliantly and makes sure that the application doesn't overwhelm you visually, which in turn makes it easier to work with. If you are used to working with Office or Web-based applications, you will feel right at home with Zoho Writer. It doesn't offer some of the advanced features of desktop word processors, but it makes up for it with one of the richest feature sets of any online word processor. The only weakness of Zoho Writer - considering it is free - is that it is perhaps a little too much like Word, and can be as cluttered. Unlike more streamlined applications, you may find the multi-coloured buttons and options too distracting. But, seriously, that's me being really picky! Zoho Writer is a fantastic word processor that provides a wide range of options. As long as you have a reliable broadband connection, there really is no need to pay for an office suite.
