I saw this article about Google's intention to get into the corporate space via search not big news of course, but there is a Web Part in beta to allow the Google Search Appliance and the Google Mini to crawl data stored in Windows Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 and Windows Sharepoint Services based sites. They already crawl everything else, and the Google mini costs about $3k and no extra hardware to buy as far as I can make out, and no need for lots of costly windows licences either. Now, imagine Google designed a web-based portal tool and put it on the Google Mini that had blogger, gmail, picasa, google mini search, wikis, news, newsgroups and was designed to be a corporate intranet portal. They'd be a right on SharePoint's turf wouldn't they? Oh, don't forget the Blogger addin for Word...

Important point, I' say ask the company doing the beta, anyone else know?

Would Google be integrating with Outlook/Exchange, Project Server, SQL Server, etc.?
I am assuming that Microsoft and SharePoint still has quite a foot-hold on overall collaboration and integration with systems most corporations already own. Am I missing something?

SharePoint is about office collaboration and tools integration. Google... is not...

Google's mission statement is "Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." And that naturally includes Office documents and anything within an organisation. And is't that' the same basic function as SharePoint? That's all I'm saying!
