Alex: i agree and disagree. for traditional office workers, you're probably correct. but for non-traditional workers, startups and the like, i'm not sure a suite is necessary. i use OO.o more and more rarely - and typically only when i interact with bigcos. as bigcos increasingly adopt the XML based formats over the traditional binary office formats, the web based tools ability to handle them appropriately will increase dramatically. should be fun to watch.

You'd think with Sun and Google supposedly working together they could make that work.
