Not about gaming. Want gaming go buy a new PC with gigs of ram
and a newer video card. What google is doing is setting up their own OS that 
I'm betting will have chrome(browser) tweaked to run google's online 
competitor to office very fast. The OS might even have a framework app
to hook into the online apps. But you can bet whatever google is doing is 
looking far into the future which is probably small devices, netbooks and 
smaller and online applications. The future is no longer software in a box on 
a retail shelf.
