I see these two as very different need and usage. Google Docs is for some basic cross department collaboration usage. Which is replaceable only by Office 365 online but not traditional Office itself.
With Office, 2007, 2010, 2013+ ( Anything beyond 2013 is far to new for most Enterprise upgrade and usage ). These group of user aren't going to be switching to anything.
I am willing to bet money there are Trillion dollar revenue today relying on Good old Excel SpreadSheet. From Small family business to large Investment firms using Excel to its limit.
Which is working perfectly fine, DONT FUCKING TOUCH IT.
Even if LibreOffice promise 99.99% of Excel compatibility, are business and Enterprise willing to risk 0.01% of failure? For What? Ideology to not use anything from Microsoft? Or Supporting Open Source?
I have stated this before, the biggest lock-in Microsoft has might not be Windows, but Excel. Companies are more than willing to switch over to Mac as long as Microsoft Excel is on the platform.
( Which is also one reason why I see a slim possibilities of Microsoft one day open sourcing Windows Kernel )
