Zoho has gotten better along the track of its development and I will say that of the open source CRM applications I prefer Zoho in terms of stability and features. If they have a sustainable business model, I think the level of improvement will continue for Zoho. I know it has for Sugar, Vtiger I am not so sure. It seems more buggy than the others.

I had similar experiences with both Zoho and Thinkfree in their early days; both seem to have recovered/corrected, so I don't think much conclusion can be reached, apart from, "It's easy to underestimate the complexity of deploying online apps, and easy to announce just a little to early."

I agree, there's nothing wrong with wanting to completely develop the product first... but there was too much hype already, and frankly, some of it not on your behalf, but by the media and bloggers who now refer the Live Documents as "launched", without fact-checking. I'm looking forward to seeing the actual product :-) Sumanth,

Incidentally, our present on-invitation beta version - what we refer to as a technology preview - already has features such as animations and slide transitions and the ability to round-trip to/from PowerPoint. Cheers, Sumanth For the Live Documents team Zoli,
Not sure what you mean by “Live Documents is still to materialize” – if you are saying that we are not yet available to the general public, then yes, that is true but that is simply because we want to completely develop and fine-tune our solution prior to letting folks use it in their daily lives…we don’t want to release it prematurely and face responses like this – http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9833176-2.html – for our 1.0 version much less our 2.0 version!
