This is entirely speculation, but it is curiously close to reality and too juicy not to mention. Rumors are flying on the internets that Google is considering launching their own home-PC box of some sort. The most interesting part of the rumor is that they are replacing Microsoft OS with their own. It will probably leverage all the Google tools that are available online and become the home-media center, because what good is a rumor like this that doesn't center on a "home media center".

The source of this rumor appears to be a predictions for 2006 article (which used to be) located ( "http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-predict1jan01,0,3503327.story")here, in the LA Times. It is far from confirmed, but dangerously believable.
