We'll just have to see what happens on Wednesday. I've already moved my causual-use webmail from Hotmail (which I was using before Microsoft bought it) to Gmail, now maybe I can finally dump ICQ (which I had pre-AOL) too. And I can trust Google to 'not be evil' nor sell out!
Use of Jabber don't say a hell of a lot. I run a Jabber server myself among friends. If Google is doing an IM service and they use Jabber I will be less then impressed.
Seems to me like generalleoff would prefer it if Google used a propiatery technology.No, this means excellent things for the Jabber community - I figure if it IS going to be Jabber, Google will release a nice Jabber client and hopefully make it GAIM, etc compatiable too. The majority of users may not even know it's Jabber.

true but a person shouldn't be able to connect to Google's internal Jabber server.

A IM with the ability to real time translation? Nice!
