I was thinking more long term than you. I agree in the first phase we
can't rely on it being to translate different information from

merely the outlook killer.

Okay, but...

We may well not have enough computing resources available to do it on
the cheap using local resources. But that is the approach I am
inclined to take, I'll just wait until we do.

Computing power isn't the only issue, and probably not the most important one; what do you think an Outlook killer could do that Outlook doesn't already do, and how would it know how to do it? 

The open source
distibuted google killer will have the problem of who decides what
goals the system has/starts with (depending upon your philosophy)

"Do what the users want you to do."

and
how to upgrade the collective if the goals were incorrect to start
with.

In the case of an open source AGI project, there would be no requirement that all users form a collective as far as their goals are concerned, only that they agree on running, maintaining and enhancing the software to serve their separate goals, just as is the case with e.g. the Internet today.

It is also not as amenable to experiment as the micro level
systems are.

True.
