I'm looking forward to reading this.
One area Google has had limited success is in Enterprise computing. Its Google Apps and Google Enterprise Search appliance both seem to be stumbling a bit (not that I really know). Does this matter? I'd be interested to see whether Google seeks to replace the corporate data centre (in the cloud computing section I guess). I suspect that if it does there will be some more interesting arguments over security, transparency, service-level agreements and so on.
