Google Kinks Microsoft's Air Supply
,----[ Quote ]
| As part of a 2006 settlement between
| Microsoft and the state of California
| alleging overcharges for software, the city
| of Los Angeles received several million
| dollars. The city will use $1.5 million of
| that Microsoft money to pay most of the $1.9
| million cost of the Google contract's first
| year. Ouch. That is not a cloud with a silver
| lining for Microsoft.

Is Microsoft a dinosaur to Google's mammal?
,----[ Quote ]
| However (and this is a really big however),
| Googleâs products are maturing at an
| incredible pace, perhaps because they eat
| their own dogfood and run their own
| enterprise on Google technologies. Hereâs the
| real question you have to ask yourself: Is it
| worth investing in a Microsoft ecosystem now?
| Or does Microsoft need to fundamentally shift
| directions if it hopes to keep attracting new
| customers in a world that is increasingly
| turning to the Web for everything it does?

Google's Obsession With Microsoft Burns Hotter
,----[ Quote ]
| Google CEO Eric Schmidt claims that Microsoft
| has provided his company with a sort of
| 'reverse roadmap' of what not to do to
| achieve sustained success, a comment that
| shows just how preoccupied Google has become
| with its gigantic rival.
