Google v. Microsoft

ph43thon writes "The New York Times business section has an article, The Coming Search Wars, about Google and Microsoft. It's fairly long and pretty interesting. Oddly, the writer or somebody out there, seems to think that Google v. Microsoft is analogous to Netscape v. Microsoft. I wasn't aware that you needed to download special software to run this Google search application. Somehow, I don't think Microsoft will find this fight to be as easy."

Has Microsoft ever had a clue???

[Pig Hogger]

Microsoft always missed the clue-train, for multimedia, for the Internet, etc.

They are of the school of thought that throwing money at a problem is the best way to solve it.

Microsoft is UNABLE to understand open-source, interoperabilit, standards and all what makes Science go. All Microsoft is about money-grubbing, market domineering and the bottom-line.

Microsoft will never understand what Google is about.

You fucking yankees have your head so far up your arses, it's pathetic. Your only and sole preoccupation is the fucking bottom-line, no matter what is the ethical cost.

And your terminal dumbassness prevents you from seeing that the majority of the planet does not give a flying fuck about your fuckingly repulsive business methods, and are ready to die flying aircraft into buildings.

It won't be

All Microsoft has to do is issue a "security patch" that re-directs Google HTTP requests to MSN Search.

As long as W is in the WhiteHouse and Ashcroft is attorney general, they don't have to worry about anti-trust.

Then, they can just say that Google is a terrorist org and if you use Linux or Mac to get to it, then you are terrorist too.
