Online Productivity Apps (Thing 11)

I suppose the folks at Microsoft stand to be a bit worried, although I imagine not everyone will go for Google Docs...at least not right away. It takes time for habits to change...and a good number of people may have no interest in have their documents "out there."

At the same time, schools will make a big difference here. If using Google Docs (or a similar application) becomes commonplace during the school years, millions of people will become familiar with it...and probably continue to use it.
If using Google docs can circumvent the massive headache of saving and transferring documents from home to school...I'm all for it. Not to mention that it allows groups to collaborate outside of class...which could save lots of time in class, and lead to a better product as well.
