Google provides bridge to cloud for Microsoft Word users

I have certainly saved documents to Google Docs before. It's one of the places online where I save papers. However, I usually have to either open a new Google Docs file or save my document there after it is done. With Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office, I would be able to compose and sync a document to Google Docs from Office. Judging by the linked blog post and a quick search I did about the feature, it does not look like Cloud Connect has been made available yet to the public.

While I'm glad this feature now is available for Microsoft Office, I wish there was something similar for Open Office. Although I favor Open Office, there are times when I have to actually use Word.
