Google Officially State, No Office Suite

Following much rumour, continuing even after the anti-climatic Sun / Google press conference, Google co-founder Sergey Brin has finally laid to rest the possibility of a fully fledged Google Office Suite:
"We don't have any plans," he told Web 2.0 conference organizer John Battelle (pictured below). However Brin left the door open a little. Documents would be easier to work with in the future, he promised, but he didn't think a fat client was the way to go.
Web 2.0 organizer John Battelle" I don't really think that the thing is to take a previous generation of technology and port them directly," he told Battelle. However distributed thin web applications allowed you to do "new and better things than the Office package and more."
