That would be a very Microsoft-ish strategy. Android is all about openness and choice. Let people install what they want, use what they want, etc. May the best applications win!

Android is going to be the underdog for a while, and the best way to get people to try it is to show them that they don't have to change everything else they're doing. This is Apple's strategy for the desktop OS. "You need Windows? You can get a Mac and keep using Windows." It makes the cost of switching lower than if you had to get new applications for everything you do. (You may do that eventually, but the transition is less painful this way.) The easier Android makes it for people to switch from Windows Mobile or BlackBerry without missing a beat, the more adoption it will see among those consumers. This is great.

Providing an online editor and not really affecting QuickOffice. (I haven't looked at QO's current features so idk what they have already) Also, and i hate to double post but i just thought of this, Google may be able to convince them to let Quickoffice use the Google Docs API and share them online… Providing an online editor and not really affecting QuickOffice.
