So Google is "much much better overall" for multiple users, as long as you can dumb what you're working on down enough to fit Docs significant limitations. Tha

  Yes, there's a trade-off. Note, I didn't say Google Docs is better for every use case. I said it's better "If you use documents and spreadsheets as tools for collaboration". The key difference I'm talking about is between: A. Writing a document, and sending a version of that document to one or more other people, so that they can do something with it. (This might involve sending you back feedback or suggestions.) B. Sharing a link to a 'living' document, with which people can interact in different ways (comment, participate in comment threads, add change suggestions, accept/decline changes). In my experience, B is much harder to achieve, and unlikely to happen organically, if you use Microsoft Office. Has anyone here witnessed an organisation that uses Microsoft Office, and where significant progress is made on people's thinking, through their online collaboration on docs/sheets?
