Why compete on a free browser?
Google is a public company. They have to make a profit. Why would a Google branded browser be a source of profit? Let alone a desktop.

Windows is ubiquitous. Google can provide search to Windows and make a profit. A version for any other operating system is necessary PR.
Given that, why should Google try to expand beyond search?

People who lose money on a stock have a better chance suing management for its dumb moves these days. I hope that when Google explains its plans there's a plausible reason to expect profits.

Let's see, how long did the founders of Yahoo last before they were forced to a role in which they couldn't do any damage?
