Does Microsoft have what it takes to topple Google Docs?

"there aren't tens if not hundreds of uncontrolled emailed around copies of documents"

Exactly. Office is a giant security hole. Anyone can just grab docs and take them wherever, send them to anyone with no trail. Not to mention is is a huge productivity waste to work on a project and end up with 20 different versions of the doc which someone then needs to paste back together into one doc... as opposed to Google where it is just a single shared doc on the server which everyone can work on together in real time. Office was designed before the internet existed so it assumes people are working on lone PCs with no network connection.
