Charlie, Google docs offers both free file hosting (you can download and share your Excel files in their native format) and a web-based cloud computing platform that allows you to work on spreadsheets and other "office" documents online from a web browser (definitely in the category of "look-alike" -- and no such web-based solution today has all the features that desktop office software has).
If you want to be able to use the "real" Excel from anywhere, perhaps you are looking for a hosted virtual desktop solution, where your operating system and software reside on cloud servers and the "screen" can be streamed to you on your computer or other computers. I don't know a lot about this market but apparently it is getting quite big. Possibly mainly for corporate accounts serving many users, like the offer here: http://www.tucloud.com/hosted_virtual_desktop.html. Their plans start at 50 users and they advertise "less than a dollar a day" for Windows 7 and Microsoft Office.
