Google And Microsoft Cross Swords Over Yahoo!

Posted by Zonk on from the just-a-tiny-bit-biased dept.

watzinaneihm writes "In a blog post Google has called Yahoo/Microsoft merger bad for the future of the internet. It is worried about the number of email and IM accounts this merged entity would control. Microsoft has countered with the argument that Google is actually the big bully in this instance, with most of the search market already tied up. The New York Times, in the meantime, has accused Google of a Microsoft fixation."

    Maybe they just have nice people at Google who have noticed that Microsoft is ruining the world of computing and that we could do with competition and/or replacement in several areas.

    I wondered that too. Even better is that you've been modded as funny. I reckon someone's riding the ganja train
