I don't get it, Is google forcing you to upload ur docs to writely or automatically doing it from their Google Desktop like tool without informing you ? If you are cautituos about your data why would you even try this kind of service? There are many on the otherhand who would be looking forward for such a service.
If only they made this service paid with subscription fee most people wouldn't see any privacy concerns, this is the philosophy if they are providing it for free there must be some catch.
When Gmail came ppl had all kinds of issues, finally all of them are gone, how would someone be sure that other email services don't READ your mails content as google does ? Just because Google tells you they do you have problem with them.
My 2 cents of advice is Don't put your sensitive content on net for public access, if you do, Neither Google nor Microsoft or any one else can save you. If you can do without the service why not keep quite?

And I rather found installing 400 MB cygwin more rewarding for using grep.exe than waiting for that puppy to dump some shit (results)
