For the vast majority of those who've only experienced the immense convenience of Google Documents, for example, how do you convince them to go back to Word (other than having them get locked out)?

    Sadly, the interview didn't really address to much about that. It was

    I know what you mean too, I agree that it's easier for people to use
    cloud computing and simply hope for the best. However, I do think that
    users need to be more diligent with backing things up.

    Ok developers, who's going to come up with an auto-backup-er for
    Google docs, etc? :-)
