I use Google Docs at work for the documents we need to share real-time with others in our workgroup. However, the marriage between Google and Microsoft in the cloud seems strange to me. Are you going to use cloud storage for your Office files? Why do you think Microsoft and Google are teaming up like this?
Users of Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 can sync their Office documents to the Google cloud, without ever leaving Office. Once synced, documents are backed-up, given a unique URL, and can be accessed from anywhere (including mobile devices) at any time through Google Docs. And because the files are stored in the cloud, people always have access to the current version.
