I like the Times' focus -- not on the Google vs Microsoft aspect of this, but rather on the variety of free web based software you can put on a cheap PC. Its a good set of resources for those looking for a cheap 2nd or 3rd machine.

In addition to Writely and Google Spreadsheet, the column also tips:

• Yahoo Mail
• Google Gmail
• Flickr.com
• Google Labs
• Jotspot
• Zoho Writer
• Writeboard
• Ajax Write
• 30Boxes
• Firefox
• Google Notebook
• Clipmarks
• Plum
