Microsoft office is the popular and most successful Office suite by Microsoft which has no other alternative for windows users ( :D though there is tough competition from Open Office of Sun Micro system Oh! now it is grabbed by Oracle ). Most of us will be using Microsoft Office Suite for one or other purpose but when we would like to share that document with our friends or colleagues and edit it we use the Google's Google Docs service where in we can edit our documents online .How ever the whole problem is that we can't collaborate our Microsoft Office Suite doc with Google docs .
How would it be if we bring Google docs power to Microsoft Office.Yes! we can do that with OffiSync.
OffiSync is beta product which integrates Google Docs Collaborative power with Microsoft Office to enable users work on Microsoft Office as well as enjoy power of Google Docs right from desktop.

I successfully installed Offisync yesterday after few attempts. The problem was with downloads on amazon, and not related to Offisync.
After the install, the Offisync Ribbon appeared on my Office 2007. Upon entering my Google credentials, I was able to access all the docs and spreadsheets stored in Google Docs. Very very cool.
Couple of minor things I noticed:
1) You can't add "everyone" as collaborator from within Offisync. You have to enter email addresses of each collaborator, one-by-one, which could be painstakingly slow. But seems like this is limitation is due to Google API. See: http://twitter.com/OffiSync/status/1855024033
2) After the install my "Recent Documents" list from Word and Excel was MIA. This could be a one off thingy. Did anyone else experience this?
Note: I love MS Office Live [1] because of its seamless integration with Office 2007 Suite. Now Offisync provides same integration with Google Docs. A dream come true.
