I have seen something about it on Giga-TV (german computer TV-station), but I don´t think it has a future. I mean, it would give Google control about all your files, and hey: Google is as hungry for money and power as Microsoft, so I wouldn´t trust them for a second. Google went downhill in the last years, and it´s their own fault: Just look at the search results, first 2 pages nothing but commercial rip-off crap or ebay adverts, and they´re spying their users as much as possible, so more and more users switch to other search-machines like metacrawler.
So I think it´s nothing but a lame attempt to polish up their image in the media. Microsoft may disappear in the long run because of its completely distrust to it´s own customers, but Unix has been there long before MS and it will be still there when MS is gone, for business solutions there is no alternative to Unix and the Linux distros become better and better so more private users will leave MS. And not even Vista will save MS, it´s nothing but a buggy XP extension anyway (3D desktop, what a useless crap is that? and not to forget the "nice" DRM-thing).
So hacking will not die, in opposite, Vista will be like Disneyland for hackers ...
