There are some really "out of the box" thinkers at Google... and this sort of thinking really changes the world eventually, once of course people "get it".
Of course not everyone is ready to change their habits, working practices or software clients - sometimes its a quantum shift, other time its a small release that gradually gathers momentum, like Firefox, spreading virally by word of mouth. Facebook did it because of simplicity and mass appeal, so it success was guaranteed because of everyone using it.
Gmail too, and even the Iphone were similar "game changers".
From watching half of their video presentation about their product, as a remote worker, I really think over the next 2 years, Google Wave should also end up as an essential group working tool. Forget trying to manage your day's work with an exchange server, this could be the future.. And it is perfect for collaboratively building documentation or any group docs for a team of workers.
I haven't tried Adobe's collaborative offerings though so I can't compare it with their one...
