Is Google linking the internet-desktop bridge?

Google was founded as a search engine and as the years passed Google kept introducing new services that have revolutionized the way we use the internet. But is Google going to revolutionize the way we are interacting with the internet from the desktop?

Follow up:

A few years back Google marked its interest in creating desktop software when it acquired KeyHole, a program that is now known as Google Earth. Since then Google aquired and created software like SketchUp and Picasa. Recently Google decided to turn its back to Mozilla by releasing Google Chrome, a competing browser to Firefox. But what is even more worrying is that Google has recently dropped StarOffice from its software pack.

The drop of StarOffice may signal that Google maybe actively promoting its online office suite. But this may also mean that Google is brewing its own office suite for the desktop which will take advantage of the online component.

Google is trying to get people working on their desktop, without the limit of the browser, but also have all their information available at any point in the world. You sit down, log into your Google account through Google software and you have your entire work space in front of you. No Google software, no problem, just open up a browser.
