I agree. I only place some documents on Google at the moment, primarily because some of my documents are too difficult to convert well. But the primary reason is it’s just too difficult right now to upload all my stuff to Google. I don’t Google has the servers to handle it all, or the security guarantees to deal with the inevitable problems.

Office is a great suite, but it is way overpriced. OpenOffice is a great alternative and really isn’t that much difference. Aside from the occasional minor glitches in conversion, you can’t beat free. As for Google, I’m still a little hesitant having all my documents online for Google to have access to. I’d rather stay with a local software.
