There are 2 classes of product that I don't see them shutting down.
1. Those that make lots of money, e.g. search, youtube, maps. Unless that changes of course.
2. Those that are heavily used internally at Google, e.g. gmail, docs, calendar. They are always going to want those as internal tools. I guess they could make them internal only, but how much more work is it to maintain the public version too given it already exists?
