I missed an important point in my original  mail but here is one of the crux

What if, just thing about it, what if Canonical asked you to pay. A La
Novell and Closed Suse (as opposed to open suse) or Red Hat

This (at another level) is also applicable to Gmail (and other google services)

Yes people would migrate , maybe, but would you pay. I wouldn't , not
because its about the money because actually i am willing to pay for
services. which is what the open source model offers.
