What makes you say it’s not “Google”? Try searching for something obscure a lot of on Google (say door handles), notice that YouTube will showing you ads related to it.

I don’t trust anything with the name “Google” in it. All data miners who need to be put down. I watch and upload to YouTube because YouTube is owned by google, but it’s not Google.

On the odd occasion I do need to access a document of some kind, I put it in my Google drive and open it in Google docs. It even gives me a nice way to save as PDF if I need to. My work machines usually have office as part of the SOE so use whatever is installed. So my personal usage of Office is pretty much zero. I use Office all the time at Codify. Every plan, doc, report, etc is heavily invested in office. I can't imagine putting together a 100 page report full of cross-references and stuff in anything other than Word. Google Docs is still a bit shit for things like vector graphics (PDFs end up with bitmaps in them) and the presentations they generate are horrible last time I checked. Google Spreadsheets is very, very solid though. I am constantly amazed by it.
