Yes I know what you meant :-). I was being deliberately obtuse :-). 
Unfortunately
I can't comment on that at this time, sorry.

What I really meant is "Why are they very interested in Samba?"  I'm having a 
hard time imagining the Samba-based offering that Google might have in mind, 
but the idea is intriguing enough that I can't stop thinking about it.

Not everything is about Microsoft :-). No, as far as I can tell
they (and I) have no interest in poking Redmond, they're just very
interested in Samba.

I must admit to being intrigued as to why they're *very* interested in your 
working on Samba fulltime.  Is it just to poke at the folks in Redmond or is 
there more to it than that?
