In a week where pundits have given plenty of virtual ink to the potential impact of Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s joining the Apple Computer board, we have a different hypothetical question to pose. What do you expect Google to do in the hopes of raining on Microsoft’s Vista parade? As of this week, we believe Vista and Office 2007 are likely to launch on January 30, 2007, or thereabouts. That’s five months from now. Will the “Do No Evil” company show its diabolical streak and attempt to spoil the Vista launch?
