Perhaps a lot of the enmity (especially in this community) toward Google is 
their success and public perception (and possible IT perception) that they 
provide the ideal IT environment - they "prove" that the cheap, distributed 
server setup is viable, even though all they really provide is rather high 
availability.  Since a lot of us have to provide similiar availability, 
with a lot better/more timely services, yes, I guess that can burn a bit 
(especially with all the crap that mainframes have to take about being 
outdated).
