SaaS Week

At Ajaxworld Expo ThinkFreeas CEO, previewed a new version of Write, the companyas version of Microsoft Word. ThinkFree Write will feature a new, high performance, advanced Ajax-based aQuick Edita feature that succeeds where other Ajax-driven online word processors breakdown.

The company initially integrated Quick Edit into its applications last year in response to customer feedback suggesting a preference to operate in one of two modes: either to make some simple changes/additions and to interact with a rich formatted document offering most of the functions available in Microsoft Office when needed.

The first version of aQuick Edita Write met the initial needs of users while maintaining a high level of Microsoft Office compatbility. The other version was packaged as aPower Edita and developed with Java in order to deliver on formatting and functionality, which is capable of more complex operations and performance over AJAX counterparts. The Java version looks and works like Microsoft Office.

The new aQuick Edita mode of write goes far beyond the other Ajax capabilities currently on the market. The new Ajax architecture will be available in April and can handle files that contain hundreds of pages at any file size.
