    Given all the noise MS has made about building their own cloud-based apps, seems this is more classic FUD to help delay adoption of the Google offering rather than an actual strategic assessment.

    I don't think Google's target audience (right now) is the power user anyway; I think they're accommodating the same type of person that pirates Adobe Photoshop. Some people only need the basics and rarely. Why pay for Word if I only read one document a month, if that, and create even less? Not to mention, there's the convenience of being able to read a document without needing reader software or even to download it to my machine.
