But both applications have been radically updated since then. Word now has live collaboration tools, and Google has added more sophisticated formatting, editing and markup features to Docs.

Because of some Microsoft technology somewhere that permanently disables the internet. Wouldn't you rather have had your documents safely stored in Microsoft Word?
