Most everybody *has* Microsoft Office, no matter how it got there. So they can take their computer places that they don't have network access, and still use it for stuff. While some folks will be fine with that, I fear that most people will be unhappy with a portable computer that works properly only when they have an Internet connection for it.

there are a lot of people with 'notebook' computers that only use them in places where there is electicity, and nowdays, just about all of those places have Internet access as well.
we will see how this works out.

I've never used Google Docs, but AFAIK it has supported offline usage for about two years (with Google Gears), so why not having Internet for a while would be a problem?
Doesn't it also have (basic?) support for importing & exporting MS-Office document formats? At least .doc etc are listed on Google Docs pages as supported.
