Bad Day for Microsoft and good day for google

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by georgegreen, Mar 5, 2008.

    In one fell swoop, Google came along and utterly destroyed the foundation of Microsoft's control over the tech industry. And in so doing, Microsoft lost its focus and abandoned its core business to stop Google's march to the top of the online mountain. But what the company never realized and still doesn't is its bifurcated focus is dangerous and could ultimately lead to its downfall. Any comments let me know.

    Microsoft's core business would be their Operating System and Office. Has Google really destroyed that core business?

    It is a word for word copy of a single paragraph of http://www.itworld.com/Man/microsoft-google-dr-080304/

    Run through copyscape and you will know. Come on at least give them some credits. And posting this paragraph really doesn't really mean much to most members I guess?

    Ya you are right. And is it so difficult to use our own sentence? or maybe we are too lazy to think?

    Google has not destroyed Microsoft. Google has a very weak business, as people will one day see.

    It is just posting nonsense for the sake of increasing post counts. Writing an article just take a bit of your time. It is just that if you are spamming forums, you will find it easy to cut and paste some rubbish and create some posts. The mods had given him what he deserved.

    That would require you to use your brains to think, most spammers want to save their brains for other purposes I guess :)

    microsoft's core business is ther softwares....Even most of the people in the world are using windows enabled computers for surfing . But they can never beat google in search marketing even if they buy yahoo!!. I think they have to reduce the price of ther OS's and utilities so that people will be promoted to by genuine softwares , ther lies microsoft's future

    Google is google and Microsoft is microsoft. They specialize in different things. Google is mostly web based applications, and microsoft is basically hardware based.
