If mobile-to-cloud sync is big in 2010, it's game over for Microsoft

Would Microsoft suffer if Google gets Mobile Sync right?
,----[ Quote ]
| Sync in the mobile world is already a big
| thing, and looks set to be even bigger in
| 2010. Acccording to an interesting article
| over on betanews, Apple, Google and Amazon
| are sync leaders as of now, but Microsoft is
| a player but competing in the wrong game.

How Google stole mighty Microsoftâs thunder
,----[ Quote ]
| The company was dominant. But not
| invincible. Today, Microsoft is openly
| mocked by Apple in its advertising.
| Computers have become portholes to the
| internet. Once there, Google is the brand
| people know and trust. Microsoftâs products
| are still used but they are not life-
| changing.

Google mounts a big WAC attack on Microsoft in the enterprise
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoftâs financial results and its deal
| with Yahoo have motivated Google to launch a
| marketing campaign aimed at Microsoftâs
| enterprise revenue. The marketing will
| escalate because Microsoft and Yahoo now
| threaten Googleâs crown jewels of search and
| advertising. Google wants to gut Microsoftâs
| strongest money machines, which are its
| applications and enterprise software. Google
| has been moving slowly into a position from
| which an attack on Microsoftâs core assets
| could be launched. With the forces in place,
| Googleâs on the offensive.

The Real Reason Google's $750 Million AdMob Buy Is Getting Held Up
,----[ Quote ]
| The real reason the Federal Trade Comission
| is taking a second look at Google's $750
| million AdMob acquisition has little to do
| with Google (GOOG), whiny consumer groups,
| competitive issues, or even Microsoft. The
| hold-up is thanks to the FTC's own
| Washington D.C. turf war with the U.S.
| Justice Department. Or at least, that's one
| story the pro-Googlers out there are
| spinning.

Bing sets New Record in Horizontal Scaling
,----[ Quote ]
| There are plenty of other blogs and sources
| critiquing the functionality and efficacy of
| Bing, so what truly brings us all here today
| is the sad, awful, unforgivable mutilation
| that has been done to these four poor
| letters of the Latin alphabet...I canât even
| imagine how someone arrives at a design
| solution like this...There is bad taste and
| then there is this....Microsoft has never
| been a paragon of good design, or even
| decent design. But this is rubbing it in
| design's face.

How Google and the cloud changed my company
,----[ Quote ]
| Woah. I just took a moment to re-read what I
| have written. Sounds like I work for Google. I
| donât. But this blog is about what works for
| business and I feel that Google made a bold
| move to make businesses work better. I
| actually am not a Microsoft Hater anymore.
| Outgrew that when I put away the code. I just
| think they are an old and overpriced model. It
| will be interesting to see how good their
| response to Google Docs is: Office Web Apps. I
| bet MSFT isnât used to playing catch-up on one
| of their core businesses!
