I would actually rather see them create their own application because their interface is a lot simpler than the typical office application, and I'm sure I could teach people how to use it a lot easier than OpenOffice. I'm sure that Google wouldn't make some sort of presentation software without making it cross compatible with PowerPoint files, that would almost make the service worthless if that was the case.

Y! just doesn't have anything to compete. I like the shift (revolution) from desktop apps to free online apps. I probably won't switch immediately from Office, but I think I'll switch over eventually, now that they have presentations (they're cross compatible with powerpoint .ppt right?). I doubt I'll pay for software much in the future. I have to say I generally prefer Yahoo! sites but Google docs is really something excellent. Y! just doesn’t have anything to compete.
