In fact, redmondland has the ultimate say in what googleland sees. redmondland gets access to your most intimate, eg, when not browsing. At least this is the case for the majority of users today since they use windows/vista.

My current worry is how is Google with its new Chrome browser trying to replace Microsoft? I suppose even if Google is wildly successful beyond what seems likely now that FLOSS will be in better shape than now? But what are the nightmare scenarios?

Maybe we will see an linux based os soon for desktops like andriod is for mobile directly from google. MS is pissed. They have lost the web war. Google can live happily without depending on MS/IE anymore. With MS putting ad blocking features and choking the google cash cow…Google had to make their own browser.
