Will a product named GDrive be made available by Google by the end of 2009?
Background: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/jan/25/google-drive-gdrive-internet
The long-rumoured GDrive is expected to be launched this year. It is seen as a paradigm shift away from Microsoft's Windows operating system, which runs inside most of the world's computers, in favour of "cloud computing", where the processing and storage is done thousands of miles away in remote data centres.
Editor's clarification: If Google release an online storage product by another name then this product will settle as a no (assuming they don't release any other products called GDrive in 2009).
