You don't need to open attachments, you just need to see them. Let your Yahoo! account open your Word, Exel, or whatever documents. All you want is to see them on your browser. And you don't even need to save them locally. Let Yahoo! store them, and you will be able to access them on any "computer" at any place, as long as the machine has an Internet connection and a browser with the proper plugins.

I agree this technology is coming, but I have security issues. I'll store my data on other people's servers only when it's encrypted well enough. But that eliminates the ability to do what you suggest and run Office Automation apps in Client Server mode.
