Google and Sun are going for open source development as a means to hinder Microsoft in various ways. Together they form a strong challenge to Microsoft. Google rich in cash has no need to charge for software. Open source software is cheaper to develop anyway because of support due for such systems from the wider tech community. Expect a lot more to come from this partnership soon.
More on the Google Sun Microsystems Deal: "Google is gunning for Microsoft, using the Java Sun Microsystems as its muscle, and Google's strategy goes far beyond pushing Microsoft around.
Under the terms of the deal, the Google Toolbar will be bundled into downloads of the Java Runtime Environment. Java will be used to power new software developed and released by Google, effectively endorsing Java and nailing Microsoft's .Net as an emerging development platform. "
