Comment

Personally, I couldn't care what proprietary rubbish Google may or may not make next as I use Free Software exclusively. I'd quite like to know which project from Google Labs will become open source first. Most of them, however, seem to rely on Google's massive databases and are, therefore, not likely to become open source. I'd also quite like to see their services use standards-compliant code. They don't event have html tags in most of their pages.

P.S. to previous commenter, Julian: a new IM protocol will not stop people using MSN. When MSN changed its protocols and Kopete wouldn't work with MSN, I tried to convert people to Jabber but I only managed to coerse one of my friends into using it. (L)users don't know what's good for them. They don't see that they're being locked in.
