Yes!!! People will stop monitoring my internet usage patterns and providing me with meaningful advertising. Finally, I can keep getting flooded with useless advertising again. And here I am, stuck without a properly working flash player for all the really annoying or obscene ads.
omg, i can see why mikerowesoft would support it, 
Lets look at the business model
1/MS, anticompetitive monopoly, lock people into proprietery formats, milk every possible penny from punters, give them shite and if its the only option, they will take whatever we give them.
2/Google, give them everything for free, give them choice, but collect everything they do.
Create a business model whereby your advertising is so effective, you make a packet.


back to no free services, google would have nothing, we would all be using 2mb hotmail addresses, and be thankful.
Perhaps though google could do a netscape, everything would become free, opensource
we just need that 10petaflop 'vista ready' nippon pc to run all the server side apps
I hope that gets done nation wide. While they are at it ban all those prescription drug commercials. It's the doctors job to know the drugs why to I have to hear the bleeding heart commercials how the drug company cares so much about me and to ask my doctor for them.
I have the gut feeling that all this hooplah is not being done for me, the surfer, but for some strange reason that has a lot more to do with corporate interests of some kind.
So I'm not actually going to expect anything good out of it in any way. Especially not when Microsoft is backing it.
