Honestly not unthinkable in this day and age. Maybe office becomes the corporate niche thing, and everyone uses g docs or a tablet/phone app at home.

I suspect an interpretation, if not grandparent's, is that one monopoly is being traded for another.

gdocs still has a long way to go. It's a harmless toy compared to Office, and I'm very far from being a power user.
