Google issued a formal-sounding commitment to the Mac today.

It extends the very good fortune of getting Google CEO Eric Schmidt on Apple’s Board of Directors a few months ago. He’s said he hopes that two companies will work more closely together with further partnerships.

Of course that’s good news, but of course Google was already pretty serious about the Mac, despite Google’s admitted lack of rich text editing for Safari users of their Gmail product.

Does this statement mean we’ll see a Google component to Apple’s living room invasion plans?

Let’s hope for all that and then some. Google is good for Apple.
