Google takes an interesting standpoint on Office.
Instead of claiming you should simply ditch Microsoft Office altogether and switch to Docs, Google assumes that most users already own a copy of Office 2007 or 2003.

Collaboration Inside Microsoft Office

DocVerse Puts Google Docs-Like Collaboration Inside Microsoft Office
DocVerse brings the collaboration functionality of products like Google Docs to the 600 million users of Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

This sidebar is where all of DocVerse’s magic happens. You can invite friends and colleagues to collaborate on any documents. As you and others make edits, those changes are synced to the cloud. In addition to a hard copy, the plug-in automatically saves a web-based version of the doc that others can see to make collaboration easy.
DocVerse’s collaboration suite isn’t free, though. It’s $49/month for 10 users and 500 documents and $99 per month for 25 users and 1500 documents.
