Depends on how the intranet is organised. Most intranets I know use RFC 1918 address space or SSL so the requests will not be routed through Google or will not be 'accellerated' at all. > I'm not sure this is in fact a big deal to wory about.

I think they will continue to push it in one way or another because it is just to important to cancel. If users actually use Web Accellerator, Google has an even better indicator of page quality then the number of links to it: the number of hits and the time spend on a page. That is criucial information for a Trustrank. And if they become the domnant technology for that, they can hide a significant number of hits for the competition. If they can get end users to put pressure on webstes to adhere to standards better that is also a minor boost for their search engine business: the better the HTTP implementation of a website, the easier to spider. It may be a very long Beta, even for Google standards, but Google Web Accelerator is here to stay.
