"Google Spreadsheets are in the 'sneak peek' phase. The two big questions seem to be a) why would anyone want to use a potentially non-secure spreadsheet with limited capabilities, and b) how will we refer to the primitive era before online spreadsheets, which revolutionized life as we know it (which, of course, leads to a related question: what kind of silver jumpsuit is most comfortable when you're crunching numbers?)?"

Well said.
I just tried it and it really opens faster than Open Office on Kubuntu Dapper.
I use spreadsheets for my home use only and for me google spreadsheets is good enough. Coupled with google search, I would say this is much better than OpenOffice + Beagle.
Though it is no where close to MS Office 2003 in functionality, but can act as a good substitute for people making minimilistic use of Excel or Openoffice.
I know most of my friends fall in this catefory.
I use Google calender also and find it very fast and convenient.
Surely Google is going in the right direction.
