   Interesting article.

   There is one paragraph that worries/saddens me:

   “It works best when everybody in the group is sharing on the same platform,” he says. “The experience you’d have if you were just sharing stored docs rather than your co-workers asking you to save down to the desktop would be much closer to ‘Wow, this is an incredible product’ instead of ‘Wow, this really stinks.’”

   I was under the impression that Gdocs was going to use ODF to mitigate compatibility issues.

   I don’t know what any of that means David but my guess is that given that Eric Schmidt joined Apple’s board, Mac compatibility will happen at some point.

   odf stands for open document format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument) used by openoffice
