   They really don't have a clue. ( Disclosure: a very minor part of my very minor   
   "fortune" is in Google stock)   
      
   On one hand:  As the Internet cloud gains in importance, and as Google   
   increasingly owns the cloud, Google stands to make Microsoft and Windows as   
   obsolete as DOS.   Increasingly, you won't need any software in your computer   
   beyond the latest browser.   
      
   On the other hand:  Google is an amazingly unfocused company that is   
   increasingly straitjacketing itself in its own bureaucracy and divorcing itself   
   from the concerns of its customers.  Companies that behave like that don't stay   
   on top for long.  It increasingly appears that Google is destined to have a   
   short heyday.   It will lose its chance to shape the future of the Internet and   
   instead join AOL and others as part of it's past.
