Clearly Google has one agenda - to strip Microsoft of their monopoly over day-to-day applications like the internet browser, email and office suite.
Imagine the day when you turn on your PC/laptop, PDA or mobile phone and simply connect to iGoogle through your Google (Firefox?) browser. From there you have ready access to your entire collection of files (no longer reliant on your own hard drive) for work and leisure. You edit, store, send, print from Google's powerful suite of tools and not once do you utilise a single Microsoft application (except perhaps for the operating system), let alone any other vendor's product. Google provides all for free (and a few non intrusive adverts). Bring it on!! ;-)
