What are Google and Sun working on

Today's Sun and Google news conference was widely expected, some where predicting an Ajax/XUL Google OpenOffice Suite and it would have been a real surprise because there was no indication that work related was being done, the official agreement is the distribution of their software technologies, although some are not excited about the announcement, there are important things to consider about this.
