Google finally just revealed what we were expecting for a while. A web-based solution for office applications. After separately releasing Gmail, Calendar, Spreadsheet, Writely, Picasa (with powerpoint-like features), and Google Talk, now many of those apps are bundled in one package.
The solution Google just released includes Gmail, GTalk, Calendar and Page Creator. But this is a first 'free' version. Right now, small businesses, universities, non-profits can create a personalized email and messaging network.
The more developed solution will be released this fall, either free and ad-supported, or paying but ad-free. I expect it to offer a package which will compete with the upcoming Vista. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, all accessible online through a secure channel, with huge sharing capabilities.
