didn't quite grasp what google purchases is all about, if at all something like this is about to be launched
it seems to be a service like MSN Passport that you use to access hotmail it enables you to have one unified "login experience"
What you see now is just a redirection to the existing Google accounts... not the actual Google Purchase stuff. It's basically going to be like PayPal (or so I hear).
Google have done a cleanup job, here's what they were showing earlier: http://img437.imageshack.us/img437/4166/googlepurchases8af.jpg
This would be very good news for those of us not entirely thrilled with the PayPal user experience...
I'd switch to google, currently on my scale of likeability google and paypal define the top and the bottom
