I'm skeptical about all self-proclaimed "futurists" and prognosticators. But you're right on the money. The only place I'd disagree: Google's goal really is to organize all the world's information. The OS will just give them more access to data that's buried in desktops. Making money from AdSense is definitely a goal. As a public company, Google can't afford to be altruistic. The long-term goal of organizing information will yield far more dividends if Google can execute on their strategy without government interference or restrictions. Look forward to your follow-up post on Google strategy. Jason – this is one of the best posts I’ve read on Google’s strategy for the just-announced OS and the Google Docs suite.
