Even with javascript enabled. 2 Needs Javascript enabled to work in Firefox. Javascript is a security risk. I still fail to understand the push from Google and Microsoft, as well as others, to introduce web based office apps. Firstly, the poor quality of broadband (or worse, dial up) in many areas of the UK and indeed the USA, make this kind of thing virtually unusable. Secondly, would I want my data stored on someone elses servers? The only possible good thing I can see with these Web 2.0 type things (apart from competition to Microsoft monopolies) is the slight possibility that they may force governments to actually do something about poor connection speeds- but I doubt it.
