It has been known for a while now that Google has an internal online storage system that they would like to launch to the public, but had some obstacles in releasing it. What I think has happen here is somebody at Writely saved the platypus main page to the server (as indicated by broken image links etc.) for some reason (one reason could be to use it as a template for a new Writely login screen) and somebody just happen to find it. I dont think finding the frontpage of platypus changes much in terms of Google's timing on launching a service - and I don't think it has anything to do with Writely. The person who found it should have grabbed the HTTP headers so we would know more about the page. Another interesting thing - Writely is already running on GWS (Google Web Server), and it is setting the *.google.com cookie, meaning that it looks close to being finished (doubt the backend is still ASP.NET unless they are running Mono on GWS which is unlikely) and ready for release.
