>. I'm not sure they "sucker punched" anyone,

I honestly believe that they sucker punched themselves as much as they
did their developer community.  There is not much that they could have
learned over the past 3 years that they could not have anticipated
from the very beginning.  At the time when Amazon was charging back
based on resources "hogged" (regardless if they are used or not) GOOG
tried to outsmart everyone by charging for what is being used -
without apparently (or so they NOW tells us) having any solution in
place by which resources are indeed being shared and never hogged when
not being shared.  Even then, where I personally fault them the most
is that they waited until they ran into (what at least seems) like a
brick wall.  Surely, they could have projected the inevitable after
the first 3 months of real usage patterns analysis.  So, Yes.  In the
process of sucker punching their developer community, they also sucker
punched themselves because most of this fall out and damage is
something that even their MONEY can not buy back and make right.
