Fake Steve's take on it is pretty much what I think: http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/2009/07/lets...d-get-some.html
QUOTE If you ask me, Google is getting a little nutty about the Borg and it’s starting to show. They’re starting to look like the new Scott McNealy. Remember him? Ran a company called Sun, which had a great little business going until McNealy became obsessed with Gates and started doing things like paying millions of dollars to buy StarOffice so he could get into that booming free software business.
