Phew!
Stops me having to worry about Google being involved in my future considerations.
In manufacturing there's precious little IT resource and especially in fixing things that "ain't broke".
We've nigh-on 200k xls docs covering all manner of the hundreds of parts we make and business processes we run. The MS converters are useless for half of those as they fail to handle the significant changes in text boxes and multiple cell formats between xls and xlsx.
While we are shifting from an Office 2k base to 2010 there's no way to justify installing 2010 on half of the PC fleet as it 7+ yrs old. Oh and while they work ... well you can guess the rest.
I can understand Google's decision but they've pulled the trigger too soon for us.
Of course I suspect they had too. Office 2013 is coming fast and they need to build market share while 2010 and 365 are in their current state. With Win8 MS look to be considerably more focused than they have in years and there's no reason to suspect they'll anything other for their productivity suite.
Google needs make hay fast.
