It's official: Google is now bigger than Windows. A statement like that always comes with qualifiers, and they're detailed below. But the basic fact is this: For the first time, Google Inc.'s revenue edged out Microsoft Corp.'s sales of Windows for PCs in quarterly results reported by the companies last week. Although Google's big growth is common knowledge nowadays, the milestone wasn't widely noticed. If Microsoft and Google were aware of it, they didn't give any indication. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/324666_software23.html
This news (yes I guess this is news) was snowed under by the news that google grew less this quarter than expected.
