Microsoft Ups Online War, Says Google's 'Failing'
CWmike writes "Raising the stakes in its war of words, Microsoft said on Tuesday that Google simply doesn't understand what businesses need, and is failing at pushing its way into the enterprise. In this edited version of his interview with Computerworld, Microsoft's senior director of Online Services, Tom Rizzo, talks about Google's privacy issues, scanning user data, the difference between consumer and corporate needs, and his doubts about Google surviving in the enterprise space. He also said he thinks Google will be shocked to see Microsoft's momentum into the enterprise cloud sector."
Google's already learned one Fortune 500 (or comcast or ms or...) tactic:
- censorship - both in Google News and Youtube - of the media company called Prison Planet (aka alex jones radio & videos). They used to appear in google news searches, but as of sunday, it's as if prisonplanet.com doesn't even exist. And on youtube the entire account was suspended simply because Jones shared a wikileaks video (the soldiers shooting journalists/children). Same video NBC, FOX, etc have.
Google is being a good steward to make sure only NBC, FOX, other megacorps control the media message, while lesser media is disappeared where they were once visible.
