I'm by no means an expert on either OpenOffice or Google Docs, but I'd say it's an apples to oranges comparison.. OpenOffice was never meant to compete against Google Docs. OpenOffice was meant to be a free replacement for the MS Office suite. I'm not surprised at all that Google has one-upped/raised the bar. Good for them, good for us, says I! sorry for late post…
