I don't think M$ can compete with GoogleDocs, especially now. For people who uses cloud storage, GDocs is reliable and already in the forefront. I don't get M$' pricing and how they think they can compete while charging people and showing ads. It is a poor attempt to go against Google, plus there are a lot of open-source collaboration applications (RIP GoogleWave). Plus, to get this Office 365 working well, you'll need a better performance PC and blazing fast internet connection to appreciate all the esthetics, etc. Will they come with an 'offline mode'?
Even Apple has been there and done that with MobileMe, but at least there is a use for it, for syncing all your media, emails, pictures, etc., and it's also subscription based. Although they don't market it as 'enterprise' software, it's the same idea. M$ has to come up with something more groundbreaking to steal away users.
My 2cents...
