    lol

    omg I've been saying that for quite a while... google uses such inovative ideas I can only dream of what kinds of improvements and standards they would create if they went into developing an operating system. Everything I've used by google has been so superior, they might actually be able to break Microsofts strong hold on the OS market. If anyone could do it Google could. Maybe make a super user-friendly linux distro? :eek:

    Besides why should Google care if Microsoft buys out Yahoo? They'll just renovate it, release it before it works, and then make sure you have to purchase an upgrade to fix the bugs they never worked out in the beginning. This could be the best thing for Google... less competition if Microsoft screws everything up.

    Perhaps Microsoft should try to sue Google forthinking of coming in the OS business and trying to monopolize the OS side of biz... ;)

    This is so true. Microsoft is overhyped these days, they are not strong anymore.

    PS: I do not use Vista since I realized it is so sux...

    I was about to post this. Google is really crying in fears. If they're not, why did they release a panicked statement like this? IMO Microsoft is gonna swallow Yahoo and kill Google soon. It's about time that a lazy company like Yahoo got new management and improve their search.

    I don't agree with that. Google searches are better structured from my point of view.... their algo is bette, not the same water at all for me :D...if it would be the same, everyone would prefer the cheaper version :)

    Google is what a monoply is. Don't know why MS's every step is taken in -ve way. And this anti trust thing is shitty. This law should be scrapped.

    Looking at Hitwise Stats, for the SEs, broken down into various parts, one can see why Google is not happy. Microsoft & Yahoo together do have a chance of giving it a good kick:

    More diversity is good for the internet. The problem is that the first player is much bigger than the next 2 combined.

    Google is really a giant search engine and the combined might of yahoo and MS should not deter it. If at all google complains about the rivals, it could possibly be a preventive step to protect its monopoly in the SE business;)
