A bigger point Bruce makes is the issue of confidence in Google. Groups is consumer oriented, but as developers we've seen Google turn on a dime, change its mind, and leave developers who've bought in to their technology, out in the cold. Bruce mentions Wave... no follow through from Google. Anyone who pitched a Wave based service in their own companies or business plan is fired, but the Goog keeps rolling on unperturbed. Microsoft, whatever else you might say, never hung developers out to dry like that. Who's ready to build a full HTML 5 site now, and ask IE users to install Google Chrome Frame? Ready to bet your company on it? Six months from now, Google could get bored with it. Yawn. Not working out, fellas. But hey, it's open source, so you guys keep working on it, ok?
