Google And Microsoft Cross Swords Over Yahoo!

Posted by Zonk on Monday February 4, 2008 @01:09AM 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."

But at least in this case, Yahoo! lost its postition because it was out-innovated by the young google. Yahoo got complacent. When did Microsoft ever actually get to their position by having a better product than their competition?
