That being said, I would never buy a new computer because of anything GOOG offers; and I do not envision anyone else doing so. All that tells me is that you aren't presently in the corporate arena watching how this stuff is being used. Enterprise search now caches every order entry page, every call center contact, basically every contact with the product/customer on every level at tons of companies- as long as the application used was a web app. We never had this before, it used to be if a customer called in all you could do was look up the contacts in the specific app you had. That might mean querying Siebel, SAP you name it. Now, when anyone in the company needs to know what customer X bought last week, he/she just searches on it using the enterprise search engine of choice. A lot of disk space, a lot of CPU but the results are outstanding (and, they save you the customer from buying a bunch of expensive software licenses and training staff). If you can't see the potential in this, I don't know what to say.
