Adobe Story: online screenwriting tool

Adobe has a beta product included with their Premium CS5 (and higher products), Adobe Story, to enable online screenwriting. It looks very promising and I can't wait to try it out. It even has a desktop app for working offline.

Believe it or not, IE7 works better for much of what I'm doing; IE8 hasn't made things better at all. To get IE8 (or the upcoming 9) to behave like 7, use the following line in the head tag:

Of course, 9 will add a ton of HTML5 and CSS3 features and is worth exploring and then making a judgment on it merits.
