While I don't agree that Google Docs sucks (I think it's "adequate" - not a ringing endorsement - for a simple majority of users' needs) I would like to see improvements. Here's why they are coming: Chrome OS. Chrome OS is predicated on solid HTML 5 support and web apps just like Google Docs. You can't sell a billion Chrome OS netbooks to IT departments without a solid office suite. We just saw gears getting phased out, now we'll see HTML 5 offline support phased in and then we'll see some new features. I've gone crazy waiting for new features as well in google apps. For instance, contact sharing. Seriously. Why so long? As a consultant in these matters I'd like a better roadmap so I can reassure clients that features are either on or off the horizon.

Me neither. I've been using for everything for about a year now. when I upgraded to Win 7 I forgot to reinstall my copy of MS office and I don't really miss it. Microsoft's product is better but I don't need the advanced features all that often. I've gone crazy waiting for new features as well in google apps. For instance, contact sharing. Agree that further integration would be good, and things like project management and so on. Google has been advertising heavily recently about companies 'going Google' by switching to Docs, and there's great potential yet to be exploited.
