To (eventually) give PC users a _real_ alternative to Windows? If Google
can't do it no one can.  And who doesn't want an alternative to PoS windows?
 Do we think that Microsoft and Apple aren't scrutinizing their data?
 Personally, I think Google has made the net a better place.  The Spam
filter on Gmail is a thing of beauty; very close to infallible in this
particular data point.  I love Picassa, and Google News is my favorite way
to find news from a wide variety of sources.

Then there's stuff like this:

and this: http://www.google.org/index.html

What would worry me would be some entity trying to shut down or restrict
Google.
