Considering the Founding Fathers' beliefs, I would argue it meant the exact opposite. They believed everyone was born divine.
This is certainly a step in the right direction. I'm interested in automatic document generation, and it's a coincidence that Peter Norvig gave a talk at a colloquium here at BYU this morning. I asked him if he thought Google would ever get into the business of automatically generating documents using their 500 TB of data as a source (i.e. automatically created Wikipedia articles on any subject). He said no, because of copyright issues and the like, but it'll be interesting to see how "Writely" turns out. It seems like it's a stepping stone to completely automated document generation, and might yield some good ideas.
On the contrary, look at their target audience: you. As a slashdotter, presumably you don't leave your basement more than once or twice a month, so this way, you don't have to go to the store to buy the DVD.
What do you want to bet that one reason MS chose "Acrylic" is because it would put them one spot above "Adobe" in alphabetical listings of image-editing software?:)
