Office 365 vs. Google Docs Showdown

This article provides the pros and cons of using Microsoft Office 365 and Google Docs. One of the main reasons why so many people are using google docs more comes down to the price. Google Docs is free, while Microsoft Word must be downloaded and has a fairly high cost.  In this article, however the author writes about Office 365, which is synonymous with Google Docs except that it costs money and boasts more quality features. Personally, I would choose the free tool over something that will cost me each month, however, the author of this article seems to think that your best bet is in Office 365. It has higher appeal in its options and features.  For example, in google docs powerpoint there are not as many options for backgrounds and themes and when viewing the slideshow, the presentation is not in absolute full screen.  Office 365 possesses all of these qualities that google docs does not have.  Office 365 also works in more web browsers than does google docs.  Microsoft Office 365 even allows users to chat real time through instant messaging or video chat as does google docs, however, it offers more quality real-time collaboration with other users.  Google Docs definitely has their work cut out for them in their competition with Office 365, however one benefit google docs can always guarantee is that it is free.
