One thing Google is learning is that specialisation isn't just for insects. They expanded into the Linux market, and aside from a few curious adopters, Android hasn't done that well. They expanded into the browser market, and it launched with so many bugs and exploits that it was almost as bad as IE, so people stuck with Firefox. And if they were to have launched this, people would've eventually gotten bored and just gone back to the already established Second Life. Google does have strengths (well, doy) and those are what they need to play to, I just hope they realise this in full. It’s probably for the best, too.
