Last fall Google launched in limited release a service for syncing your Microsoft documents to your Google Docs account. They're calling the service Cloud Connect and now it's open to all Windows users. Cloud Connect allows you to save your MS documents online, share them with others, and track changes to your documents online. Cloud Connect can be used on Windows XP, Vista, and 7 computers. Cloud Connect supports Office 2003, 2007, and 2010.
