Microsoft and Google battle with cloud computing
,----[ Quote ]
| In the world of computer software, becoming
| dormant or, God forbid, complacent, is a death
| sentence.
|
| Microsoft is all too aware of this as they
| struggle to keep people interested in their
| operating systems.
|
| Google, a company that seems to never stop to
| catch its breath technologically, is a rather
| surprising threat to Microsoft â the undisputed
| chief among the current thick-client software
| companies.
