They have the Excel spreadsheets of all startups and businesses of the world (well 50/50 with Microsoft).

And Atlassian has all the project data.

I still can't understand how google missed on github, especially since they were in the same space before with google code. I do understand how they couldn't make a github though.

More like 5/95 with Microsoft - and that's being generous, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 1/99. It's basicaly just hip tech companies and a couple of Fortune 500s that use Google Docs. And even their finance departments often use Excel. HN keeps underestimating how the whole physical world runs on Excel.
