...is ".Mac" next?

Yesterday Google announced it's new Google Office aimed at small businesses. I'm sure this sort of thing gives Microsoft sweaty palms considering this is Google. I can't see where this is much of an impact for the Mac audience. However, it does make me wonder how much of a dent Google will make into the Dot Mac market. Google already offers many things that Apple charges for with .Mac. Of course there are integrated goodies with .Mac that you can't rival completely, because Apple supports .Mac and integrates features for it in it's programs.

There are people who are happy to pay the $99/year fee for .Mac for what it offers in return, and then there are more and more people opting for free offerings from Google or others. I'm in the latter group.
