I guess I don't see why MS would do this at all if they didn't see it as an eventual Office replacement. Acclimating users to web-based Office apps tangentially benefits Google by validating its approach. So restricting web Office to lightweight auxiliary functionality for the native Office mothership seems like a loss for MS. I think they're going all in.
