I’m wondering when Google Analytics will follow suit, and stop showing the excel icon (and mouseover text) for their CSV download.

…..and it is WAY cool – I was collaborating with a client through her new GMail account and Docs/Spreadsheets within minutes.

I was working on my mac and she was on a pc – seamless.

Now why would I want to buy Office 2007 when Google is here???

PC here:

With spreadsheet the .xls does not appear to be able to display even simple charts

With docs, google has a tendency to to turn any text withing a frame into an uneditable image. Appears to just be generally buggy.

Still needs work, but this adds to google’s lead with free email, and helpful stuff non-the-less

PC here and I can confirm it opens word docs.

Did I mention how much I loathe typekey this week.
