What I Would Like to see Google Do

I think its time for Google to sell hardware.

What would I like to see? A Computer. Start with say the "G100", the base system, It has ram, but no hard drives. One thing I would like the system to provide is speed. Running the same processor it should be at a minimum subjectively twice as responsive as a Windows system using equivalent hardware doing the same thing.

It boots from the internet running the simplest possible OS that provides the features most people need. The OS should be secure, designed from the outset to be resistant to viruses etc. It should be open so people know it is secure and free of malignant code (such as DRM).

The base computer should be fast with a high priority on energy efficiency. Once it connects your browser is your desktop, with access to the internet your software and your files. Your should be able to run your own programs, as well as Googles.

All your personal files stored on Googles servers should be completely encrypted and inaccessible by Google by default.

The computer should be able to connect via your local ISP, cable, DSL, whatever, but I would also like to see Google provide wireless anywhere connectivity.
