Does Sky Drive negate puchase of MS 2010?

Hmmmm, since Office 2010 seems to be the SkyDrive programs in use - then does that mean I don't have to actually purchase MS Office 2010 for my home PCs? Since I can create a document directly on Skydrive - what would I need a home install for?

Feature set. You can do a lot of basic things with it, it's fine for home use. But there are limitations.

As long as you only want to use office when you have an internet connection.

Have fun creating any kind of decently complex spreadsheet on your phone

As mentioned, Skydrive features are very limited. Plus, there's no Outlook on Skydrive. Also, MS sells a lot of Office 2010 to businesses who don't want their documents in the cloud. For personal use, there's no reason to get Office 2010.
