Google's latest shot at Microsoft: An online spreadsheet

Google said it will launch a Web-based spreadsheet
application today, the latest in a series of shots it has
taken at Microsoft.
Google Spreadsheet, a free program that requires no
downloads and allows people to share or work on the same
document online, won't offer all of the bells and
whistles that Microsoft's Excel program offers. And the
program will only be available to a small number of users
who request to participate in a beta, or testing, period.
But people will be able to open Excel documents (.xls)
and Comma-Separated files (.csv) with the program.
