I'm incredibly excited for the guys at Quickoffice! Its really interesting, I still feel like Quickoffice is my baby (I was the lead architect from 2002-2008). It's actually kind of bittersweet to see the whole thing grown up and headed off to Google.
My first startup experience was working in a closet (literally) on the Palm version of Quicksheet as the second development hire.
Over the next 6 years we were bought and sold (twice) and along the way kept growing into an amazing team. It's been really fun being on the forefront of the mobile revolution (Palm -> Symbian -> modern phones/tablets). Quickoffice will always be a very important period in my life.
So congratulations to Google, you've acquired a great product and an even better team. I can't wait to see what the folks at Google have planned. I have no doubt this is a match that will be huge for their plans in the enterprise market going forward:)
It was actually the server room. We had a couple of desktops serving the website and the development staff (two of us) crowded in there to work as well:)
