Can someone please explain me why Google stock price is so freaking high and doesn't involve some conspiracy theory?

Google is looking to centralize all e-mail services to their servers. The e-mail system (GMail and domain services) aren't competing with MS Outlook, they're competing with MS Exchange and hence with Windows Server. That's one hell of a market. If Google sets themselves up as the strongest "utility provider" with respect to IT, and it looks like they're the only ones that "get it" as an organization at this point, I'm wondering why Google's stock price is so freaking low...

Googling "information technology utility" points me towards a more articulate explanation of the concept at MITSloan:
