If Google succeeds at this it will prove all my paranoid theories that the whole market is dumb and crazy and that marketing is the only way to get through. Cause doing what Google has done is like taking "the Gnome way" to the extreme: GNU/Linux is hard? Ok, remove ALL operating system features and applications until only the browser remains.

They will understand the market right up to the point when the Web 2.0 baloons start poppin'... How many web "Office suites" or OSes are left lately?
And without browser they have... nothing. They can't rewrite it for the desktop, so why not making another web desktop?

And what has the desktop done since the first version(s)? Not changed, not one bit. Face it, this is a change... not the best one, but a change nonetheless.
But to answer your "web office suites"... Microsoft Office Live, ThinkFree Office, Google Docs among others.
OS's? Heh, in an extremely simplified view, there's Linux, OSX, Windows. All others, Android, Maemo, Moblin, Mobile OSX, WinMo... are just iterations of the aforementioned three (in a simplified manner).

Be paranoid all you want; Google wants your eye balls, not your data. In the end, there will be secure FOSS clients for all Google services and all your data will be encrypted by said clients. I'll take the free transport and backup.
