Wasn't this problem already solved by Sharepoint and SVN? If I do a diff from SVN at work, it automatically brings up the compare documents screen in Word.
If your company is of any decent size you have a server of your own, so what's the advantage of putting the repository on Kivo?
Microsoft is always going to have an edge over anyone when it comes to Microsoft Office documents, so even if some of this idea becomes successful, I don't see how it stays out of office for long.
Just install Tortoise SVN. Create a repository on your shared server, and then add a folder on your local machine to the repository. When you commit a file, you'll have a diff option, as well as locks and everything else you get.
