johnd, i don't see this hurting msft office at all. can you imagine corporate america having to wonder whether their employees are actually typing memos and reports w/ this type of net office applications, or whether their employees are surfing the net for personal use during business hours.

personal use of the internet during business hours is a big enough headache already for today's corporate execs. i think they'd much prefer to keep their word processing and spreadsheet applications localized. the last thing corporate america needs is another variable in the workplace that will lower personal productivity.

as for personal use at home, this may have a chance but many will choose to keep compatibility as well as familiarity w/ applications they use at work.
