I find your analysis quite simplistic: instead of the typical business-lingo stuff (“concentrating on core issues etc”), I think there are some worrying facts to be noted here, which could use some attention: as a service provider, Google has responsibilities. You can’t provide people with valuable services which they start using and basing workflows on and then pull the plug ’cause play time it’s over. What message does this send to people interested in using Google’s business offerings? And what message does this send to people interested in the new & trendy cloud stuff?
I found myself suddenly a lot less interested in Google offerings and in all the “put your stuff on the web” trend.
