“Microsoft Office.”

Doesn’t Google have most of this?

Microsoft Office.

Ewww...
IMO, the only thing that's at all interesting about MS Office is Access*, and with every new version they break the previous one. (i.e. importation-wise; I've not heard of a non-trivial DB/UI importing correctly.)

I'd much rather use WordPerfect than MS Word; I have a deep-seated resentment/aversion to PowerPoint (Army experience); and Outlook was craptacular [much of this is due to Outlook and Outlook Express being different enough that they really ought to have different names] last time I touched it; Excel... well, if you're not using it for finances you probably ought to be shot [too many admin/manager-types use it instead of DBs; I know I've had to deal with data-manipulation in spreadsheets that *REALLY* should have been in a DB].

* -- I'll give MS kudos for making DBs easily accessible, even if management-types seem to forgo it in favor of Excel.

Google Docs (especially when they improve their spreadsheet app)

Touché, good sir.
