When they themselves own Wordpress' direct competitor.
Lately, Google seems to be adopting an "if you're threatened, crush the competition"...very far indeed from the quirky fun-loving corporate world they like to show to the public.
My experience with the "business executives" (or at least the sales managers who usually are the first ones to complain about late projects) has been that they just loooove to make the client happy and will do ANYTHING to keep them that way.
This most often includes them telling the client things like, "Absolutely, we can include that feature with the current development. I'm sure it's not a big deal". Then going back and telling the PM or even the programmers themselves that "I've already told them we could slip that feature in there so let's just go ahead and do it. It's not a big deal, right?"
[Greedy|stupid|sycophantic] sales guys will sink a project faster than you can say "let's do lunch".
when all those PC users who wanted to test the Mac waters and bought a Mac mini finally load Tiger on it and it eats up every bit of available CPU to run all the snazzy new eye-candy?
Not saying it's going to happen...but what if Tiger completely cripples the new low-end Macs?
I can remember not so long ago when most of the X-[acquires/buys/takes over]-Y stories were almost always about Microsoft grabbing up some little company.
These days, however, it seems like Google's on the takeover shopping spree.

isn't so much the Linux to Mac switch. That's not a very big jump, especially with OSX being Unix-based.
The big thing is the Windows to Mac switchers and, more importantly, the role that the iPod plays in influencing that switch.
Windows users who buy an iPod to use on their Windows machines end up getting a slight taste of what it's like to use a Mac. iTunes is presented in the OSX GUI style, and the iPod itself is a fine example of Apple's signature simplistic beauty.
Once their curiosity has been raised and they see the almost cult-like enthusiasm that Mac users have for Apple and its products (and you know it's true), they start looking at Macs to see what all the fuss is about.
Then, after playing with one in their local CompUSA, they're hooked like a heroin junkie. (but I mean that in the nicest way.)
You know why no one's complained about the apparent lack of a grammar checker for Linux?
No one uses it! Even when using MS Word, I look at the suggested grammar corrections and say, "Oh, that's nice. Whatever." Then, I go on writing and fix errors myself.
In other words, in order to operate a mule, you must first be smarter than the mule.
Enterprise already taught us that it's bad ju-ju to prequel TOS. Hopefully, Shatner won't fall in that same pit and lose whatever amount of dignity he has left.

it really should last for as long as the format and storage technology is able to last.

That and some sweet downloads.
They need to think about pushing the launch date back to April 28th, the main reason being the scheduled demolition of Earth on the 29th.
