Can you imagine offering a fully scalable AD online? Having access to the code you can start doing things that Microsoft never allowed you to do ;)

Google Docs is, as far as I know, OpenOffice

I've never heard about this before, and if true, would be really interested in knowing more about the story behind this.

Got some choice links?

Google Docs has no relation to OpenOffice iirc. The word processor came from writely and the spreadsheets was some other company's source code, the rest was just extensions on that.
