Will Google become Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| The point is that Google has given us only glimpses of its potential, and if
| we were to equate it with Microsoft, it would be like buying Microsoft stock
| today for 30 cents to 40 cents a share.

Microsoft's Negative Brand Image Gets Worse
,----[ Quote ]
| It's the Microsoft brand that attracts negative attention, don't you think?
| I've said this before in other columns, but Microsoft has lost control of its
| own brand image. The company lost it years ago, and I now see the brand
| itself as a negative factor. The exercise above confirms this if the
| conclusions are correct, and I believe they are.
