If they ever manage to come up with a synchronization tool to replicate the desktop office suite with their online office suite, it might be worth it. Nor would it have to be something fancy -- along with an option to save, just provide a similar option to "sync" and "sync as." The ideas is to be able to go either direction. "The next step would probably be the addition of a plug-in that lets you synchronize local documents with Google Docs & Spreadsheets, so you can have the best of the both worlds: edit complicated documents offline, collaborate and store files securely online."

I'm an equal-opportunity basher. I bash where I see fit to bash. Like the way you abbreviated "people." You should be abashed.

Does anyone have the strategy on how the google pack is sold for free? I mean the pricing model and the like? I am an IT services consultant and somehow got interested in the google pack "funda"...so wanted to dig in a bit more to understand how they do this entire pricing thing and what is it that holds for the software giants like Adobe and how do these companies gain profit margins and make money??
