Microsoft Wants to Take on Google

blenderking writes "We do view Google more and more as a competitor. We believe that we can provide consumers with a better product and a better user experience. That's something that we're actively looking at doing,", says Bob Visse, director of marketing for Microsoft's MSN Internet services division, said. Full article at: Yahoo.

No you got it all wrong....

Google isn't competition for Microsoft. Google is a quality product that actually works. Totally different than anything Microsoft puts out.

You must mean 1997. Dogpile in 1987 was likely only of the stinking variety.

Why?

Why is Google perceived by MS to be a competitor? Why does MS feel compelled to own everything? Why not admit that Google is excellent, that there's already lots of competition in the search engine niche, and get on with life?

I try and try not to hate MS (I hate hating, and personally find it exhausting :-), but they regularly come up with stuff like this, and it just disgusts me. They're like evil monkeys. Just can't stop fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting.

I wonder if MS are angry at this?
