Is Google Docs making that much money?

That barely matters, from Microsoft's position. Any argument that NetDocs (which MS would have had control over) would have cannibalised Office applies even more to Google Docs (which it most certainly does not).

OK, I tried MS Web Office (Excel), it's sloow and a missing features, shortcuts that either Excel or Google Docs has.

If web docs matter, MS is way behind Google at the moment.
