just because you hire someone that can do A, doesn't mean you want him to neccessarily do A.

google does make a lot of server boxes which are dedicated for searching
maybe they just want a user interface

Imagine (at the rate of its expansion) in the future a "Google" soft drink.

Google cars?? Google DVD drives???

I think Google have found the sweet spot, and are going to keep on using it to its full potential for as long as viably possible.

Going back to the original topic - I found this on slashdot (http://slashdot.org)

galdur writes "Microsoft Watch reports Marc Lucovsky, one of Microsoft's key Windows architects has defected to Google. His confidence in Microsoft's ability to ship software seems to have waned, too. Some hypothesize Google working on an OS but in the wake of Google's inroads into Ajax tech applications (GMail, Suggest, Maps), I think Google may have other plans for the chief software architect for Microsoft's .Net My Services ("Hailstorm")"

They may just want an OS programmer to help make desktop search better.

On another note, "Google Maps" is an awesome program, too bad it is only North America in the beta stage ...
