Google: Application Abstraction Layer?
What Google Spreadsheets does do is confirm the rumors of Google competing directly with Microsoft Office by releasing a web-based office suite of their own. Despite their recent aquisition of Writely, I still refused to believe that this is actually what they were doing. Because, well, it doesn't sound very smart to me. Google's core business – what they do best – is search. And straying from that in order to take on a suite of desktop applications doesn't seem to be in their best interest.

Very few people with sense will be willing to trade privacy for convenience.. I hope. That, however, has not stopped people from using gmail AND a host of other "free" google services.
It appears to be the same naivety that 'propels' people to use facebook and similar ilk: pouring life out for all to see for all time.
