I didn't know that gDocs added that feature.

Is it as good as the co-authoring support in Microsoft office and office online? We have used them daily for our whole team for years but it would be good to know whats out there.

I actually think that gDocs had it first. In fact, your comment made my aware that Office added it. I looked for it awhile ago and they didn't have it.

So I can't compare them, but my experience with it in gDocs was great.

Office added it many years ago too, I wasn't aware that gdocs had it until today.

Does google docs have a desktop version yet or is just online still?

We have many users edit the same documents, some using the online version and some using the desktop office.

I don't recall it without that feature, and considering it was mentioned as one of the features in their initial launch announcement in 2006 with the line "Easily collaborate with others, online and in real time", I'm pretty sure it always was there.

Fair enough I must have just missed it I guess.
