I agree with the fact that competition is good for us. But for me it's not clear what a "local cache" means in this context, and I'm afraid it's not exactly a local copy (the term "cache" makes me think of a temporary thing out of my control). And knowing Google(*) and their "online" (offline and Google in the same sentence strikes me as... unatural) philosophy, I'll see when it arrives if this is the new "Library of Alexandria".

(*) They really know how to sell ads, and gather data to find the perfect ones for you, Microsoft can't even hope to reach such levels.
