Docs instead of Office 2010

PC World has a interesting piece up discussing Google’s idea to suggest Enterprises / Corporations stay on their current version of Office (instead of upgrading to Office 2010) and begin to use / integrate Google Docs into their infrastructure as a means of web / cloud / shared components. Google’s idea is centered around the fact that Office 2010 and Microsoft based cloud computing / shared components require Sharepoint Server installation and Sharepoint sites to share files many times. That is a very good point in my view, but I doubt that it will sway many Microsoft centered houses (at least big ones) to look toward Google Docs as their shared / cloud solution. Of course from Google’s side of the field they don’t need to win all of the Microsoft clients over, just a few each month until in a few years Docs is viewed as a viable option for the enterprise.
