Is Google entering the cloud for desktops?

It looks like Google has ambitions of being a major player in providing infrastructure for “the cloud” for desktops. This report vaguely details some of Google’s ambitions with GDrive. Google GDrive (rumored to come out later this year) is basically an online storage facility. So, online storage isn’t really “the cloud” - right? That’s right, but with Google releasing Android, there could be more to the story. Google already has Google Docs, and GMail. Is a cloud OS next? Google is being pretty vague about this too. Dave Armstrong, head of product and marketing for Google Enterprise, said: “There’s a clear direction … away from people thinking, ‘This is my PC, this is my hard drive,’ to ‘This is how I interact with information, this is how I interact with the web.’” I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
