One of Gmail's handiest features has long been its ability to open a large variety of attachments with its "View as HTML" option. Now Google has taken it one logical step futher with an "Open in Google Spreadsheets" option when you receive an Excel file as an attachment. I checked it out and found it to be pretty convenient.

Every time Google launches (or buys) a cool new product, I'm a little nervous that that's the last thing we'll hear about it., i.e. Google will just leave it to gather dust. That was definitely my fear after the launch of Google Spreadsheets, but I'm happy to report that those fear appear to be unfounded.
