Switching to Google Docs?

I think the biggest differnce between the Microsoft products and Google docs is the ability to instantly send the information via e-mail with Google docs.  With that being said, I DON'T think that is a great arguement to move away from Microsoft Word and Excel.  Everybody everywhere had to make the shift from typewriters and basic word processors towards Word and Excel, and if I remember correctly, it wasn't an easy transition for everyone.  Everybody would have to learn something new with Google docs and go through more training on something that is generally doing the same thing. Sure, Google docs saves your work automatically, but it also prohibits you from seeing what you type in real time.  People are still learning new and interesting things with the Microsoft products and do the job quite well. The only difference is you must:1)Save your work 2)Write an e-mail 3)Attach a file... It's as easy as 1,2,3. Let's keep Word and Excel.
