Sources close to the joint efforts between Google and Sun say rampant speculation about hosted desktop productivity offerings and common operating systems is way off base.

The meeting jacked up marketing hype, and created speculation. That's likely exactly what was intended.
It's for the same reason some of the OS's have a daily point release. If nothing else the press release IS the news, rather than the product.
