Just to add another voice. Some of us have to exchange documents with
people who use Word - particularly in work settings, and features like
change tracking,
Change tracking in word is a horrible feature. It makes the documents
about 170% larger after each set of changes. You ever seen a 3 page
specification document 90MB+ in size? I have. It was horrible. Someone
could easily turn off revision control and you would lose eveyrthing
except the current revision when saved.
Needing to run a cvs or svn server to access documents just won't
fly with 99.9% of the computing world.

How about a simple wiki-type product. Change tracking and the whole
sh-bang. It is the whole reason Wikis were created. If not a wiki, a

A wiki for long, complex and/or important documents? That's crazy.

proper document library with a document publishing system is easily had
and setup. Saving into the library rather than a filesystem is all that
is needed. Heck Exchange is good for SOMETHING, beside e-mail and
scheduling you know. Lotus Notes does it too, as does Groupwise.

I didn't know Exchange could do that.

Besides, seeing people's versions and revisions all together on the
page is darned useful. Even if MS implemented it poorly.

I didn't say it wasn't useful. I just said its implementation was
horrific. I see you agree on that.
