Microsoft plans free, online version of Office - Los Angeles Times. While I have deplored Microsoft's dominance in the past, I am happy to see a spirited competition with Google, since competition is always good for the consumer.

I use Word and OpenOffice to read .doc files that others send to me. While I have a Google docs online account, I seldom use online word processors.

There is a free plugin for MS Office that I use called OffiSync. It allows you to save, edit, etc. your Google Docs directly in MS Office.
