Like google said, today browsers aren't built to handle such things online. Sure, you can use google docs edit and create but who really uses to a point they don't need [open or closed source] Office?

Its a trap!

Give me one good reason to store and work on my data remotely?

Another attempt to sell software as a service.... Bite me.

So that you do not have to pay for the software upfront... not that anyone ever pays for software.

No thank you, this is just their attempt to try squish open office if u ask me. but no thank u, I like my unclouded computing, I like my documents, programs and everything else nicely tugged onto my computer. But okay, on some occasions I must admit I actually found a use for Google documents, but to me cloud computing just doesn't have enough weight to back the hype.
