    Here's the gripe: Corporate IT doesn't think Google Docs are a secure place for important information. Microsoft will deal with this by offering something Google doesn't, the ability to host Office Web on the customer's own servers.

    Google Docs has its good and bad points, but in my case I'll move to MS 2010 if it has 'sites' and links up to GMAIL, adwords and analytics... not a chance buddy...

    Cheers,

    Then they can't believe it's safe online with Microsoft Office either but Google Docs can work locally, too, only I've forgotten the details.

    There is no way DOCS is going away as easy as MS thinks.

    MSoffice is their most profitable niche, they will only give away the basics but real storage will cost you with MSFT (while free with google docs). If anything, LONG TERM, open office + google docs and google developments (including iwork by Apple which will soon be free to sell hardware) will erode microsofts lead and margins.

    MSFT doesn't design for the user ;) they have wizards who do the design and coding (such great masterpieces as Windows Vista haha)

    I like the new Office 2010. It's easy to use, and I like the offline convenience.
