Microsoft will bring other cloud saving options to Office 365 & will off Google Docs in the process

Two days ago, Microsoft dropped a bomb on the cloud industry by announcing that they were partnering with Dropbox (which you can read the press release here) to allow Office customers to save their files to their Dropbox accounts in addition to their OneDrive accounts, whether that be through Windows, the iPad, or Office Online. Many in the Microsoft camp, unsurprisingly, rejected the notion and wondered why Microsoft would partner with a rival cloud company. The answer is quite simple really: to sell more copies of Office 365 and to prevent customers from switching to solutions from Google.
