This is a thick-headed publicity ploy on Google's part. Hate on Microsoft all you want, but Google Apps are not even close to Office in terms of functionality.
Less functionality is an advantage for most tasks at hand.

Are you sure you need Kate the Average Secretary to toy around with countless functions? Will that add to the bottomline?
