Week 02 - Freed by Google, no more Window's Office

I have been looking for a copy of office suite can work with Vista x64, as the number of free trials on the Michelle's new Vista x64 notebook quickly counting down single digit. After a dozen different installations and uninstallations, just as I thought that my only option is to pay the heavily discounted student license seat for $60. Google Doc. came to save me. Now I can import/export Microsoft Words, Excels, and Powerpoint files from/to Google Doc freely and truthfully.

(The following is not a Google advertising, but my own observation.)
We can now:
work on all my documents anywhere with a browser connected with Internet;
collaborate with others without sending the files back and forth, read only or writable;
find (google search) the file from the big pile of files of inconsistent or no filing and naming habit.

Need more reason to NOT pay Microsoft and continue to suffer?
Log in Google Doc, http://docs.google.com/ and test it out with word, excel, and powerpoint files.
