This could be big. This could really help break the monopoly.

And Google is really vulnerable to all of the tricks that Microsoft could pull on them with bundling. If google could get a presence on the desktop throught a self branded browser that includes a lot of advanced feature for things such as local search, they can do some bundling of their own. And, it could be cross platfor. And, they could even go farther and create GoogleOS, based on Linux. You could walk into Best Buy and buy a GooglePC. And, the ability to back up all of your data on Google. These are things that have not been offered before. Really, that might be the next killer ap/idea. Offer a service so that all of your data is online. You can walk up to any computer with a Google Browser and instantly access everything. Kind of what Suns vision is. Also, frees you from making backups.
