Google's Patents Reveal Strategy To Beat Microsoft

Posted by Zonk on from the stretch-the-para-digm dept.

linumax writes "According to 'The Google Legacy,' history is about to repeat itself. From the article: 'Microsoft today is where IBM was years ago. And Google is in a position to do to Bill Gates what he did to IBM. The result could be a new industry kingpin. Arnold, author of The Google Legacy, said in an interview this week that it appears that Microsoft doesn't understand Google in much the same way that IBM didn't understand Microsoft 20 years ago. "It will be the Googleplex from 2004 to 2020 - a network paradigm," said Arnold. "It will be enabled by Google's approach to innovation."'"

    You must refer to your /. double standards manual. Paragraph 1.1.12 clearly states that when MS patent stuff its bad, when Google patent stuff its good and the whole patents are evil issue is a no go.
