Infuriatingly, we would often open a document for editing, only to find the server connection had dropped - even when our connection to the internet was working perfectly.

Being occasionally unable to save files seems rather precarious, and heavily undermines the practicality of the service. We contacted the development team to alert them to the problem, but they seemed alarmingly unaware of the issue: "Thanks for reporting it - we aren't aware of the problem, but will now check to make sure all is well," the Buzzword team replied.

If Adobe can iron out the reliability issues then this will be one of the strongest contenders yet to displace Microsoft Word.
