I'm not sure why google are doing this, unless they're getting paid (in money or some other way) by the producers of the software...
according to the google blog they are not getting paid:
We worked with a number of technology companies to identify products that are the best of their type to create this suite. (We didn't pay them, and they aren't paying us.)
I think it's impact would be much greater on the theological world than the scientific
Not necessarily, the study of unusual species can lead to great discoveries. For example, an enzyme found in heat-loving bacteria that grow in geysers is necessary for PCR amplification, a technique used for genetic fingerprinting (comparing a person's DNA to a sample like blood in a crime scene), paternity testing, detection of hereditary diseases and lots of biology applications.
Also, if you look around, there are great bioinformatics jobs that don't require specific experience/education.
I know, I've been working in bioinformatics for the last two years and I only have a major in computer science (actually, I don't, I have my last exam friday:) )
check out this reply to one of my post from an anonymous coward here. Apparently, you can extract the resources from the.exe, but you will get compilation errors (missing identifiers). If you manage to correct the errors (adding the variables to the right class), you will get an application that will crash on startup. My guess is that the source code that is given isn't the same as the one for the distributed program. I don't know the GPL really well, but couldn't this be considered a license violation?
Start / Run... / regedit.exe

You've just saved yourself a 40$ Windows Server CAL for 3 months. It's also rather easy to implement in a script (delete the key every 10 weeks). Your client is a mac? do a search for CitrixID and delete the file.
Seriously, I've been running Citrix for over a year now, and I didn't have a lot of problems.. just the ones you would expect when 50 students are using the same windows machine, and of course the microsoft licenses. Considering I'm the only admin, and that I have no formation whatsoever in sysadmin (not even a MSCE), i think it should be rather easy to implement for experienced admins.
p.s. for those that are interested, i'm soon gonna finish my bachelors studies in computer science.

I mostly agree with what you say, except that in my particular case, i think that i fall in the second category... I know what the data I generated means, I understand a lot of their implications (but not all of them:( ), I have gotten accustomed to extracting the information I need from northern blots, cleavage essays and stuff like that...

Altough I agree that having a "wet" lab experience will have an impact on your computational research, i also think that having biology knowledge isn't required. Projects are usually narrow enough that all you need to understand is your local view of the problem.
I'm a computer science student, and i am enrolled in a coop program. Having basically no knowledge in biology, I have been able, within 3 months of work, to learn everything i needed and to produce enough results/data to create 3+ M.Sc./Ph.D wet lab projects.

We are in the process of ordering the systems.
Their sales department is great, but that's all I can say for the moment.

I'm currently buying linux servers from them, but I saw that they also have laptops

I was browsing the source files, opened Gnucleus.plg with my browser. The file seems to be a build log, but one thing in it intrigues me:

SearchToolbar.cpp

Error executing cl.exe.

I didn't have time to install a compiler on my computer yet, but i wonder if these errors are still there.

Funny thing: I don't think I have ever heard that song, and I am canadian (Québécois to be precise). At least, it doesn't remind me of anything.
