Right. As far as I know it will be a fully OpenID 2.0 compliant OP when finally launched. It's not live yet! I think they launched it a bit prematurely in response to Microsoft’s announcement.

Read on openid.net itself: http://openid.net/
There was some discussion<http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/google-doesnt-use-openid/>from a few people yesterday claiming that Google's implementation was a fork of OpenID. Today, Eric Sachs, Google's lead on this effort, has another post<http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2008/10/moving-another-step-closer-to-single.html>responding to some of this early criticism:
That registration requirement also led to some confusion because users wanted to be able to use existing websites that accept OpenID 2.0 compliant logins by simply entering gmail.com (or in some cases their E-mail address) into the login boxes on those websites. … Once the XRDS file is live, end-users should be able to use the service by typing gmail.com in the OpenID field of any login box that supports OpenID 2.0, similar to how Yahoo users can type yahoo.com or their Yahoo E-mail address (In the meantime, if you feel really geeky, you can type https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id into an OpenID 2.0 login box).
Cheers, Fabian

For the record, Google is now an Open ID provider :

Not really. AFAIU google is not using OpenID but an extension of OpenID that is not compatible with the spec if we are to believe this post: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/google-doesnt-use-openid/
Thanks -Vincent

Hi there,
Microsoft just announced at the PDC that Windows Live ID becomes an OpenID Provider [1]. This will create millions of new OpenID users to the already existing ones of Yahoo, AOL, Blogger, Flickr, and so on.
I can hardly wait to see my OpenID support to be integrated into the next XWiki release :-)
Cheers, Markus
