Not immediately, but the thing that people can set up and try and say "yeah, sure, problem solved" has a funny way of making it's way into the rack. Whether it does or doesn't in a specific case usually just comes down to whether the one supporting it likes Vi, Emacs, or Word.

Can you imagine offering a fully scalable AD online? Having access to the code you can start doing things that Microsoft never allowed you to do ;)

(Google Docs is, as far as I know, OpenOffice for example)

Google Docs has no relation to OpenOffice iirc. The word processor came from writely and the spreadsheets was some other company's source code, the rest was just extensions on that.
