I'd have to agree. They are two different arenas. However, where Microsoft does touch on the web i.e. MSN, MSN ad network, etc. it will never be able to beat Google. Skinny

Well Microsoft is competing with Sony in videogaming market, with PHP with its ASP, with delphi and JAVA with its VB and .NET like programming languages. Microsoft competing with MySQL with its SQL server. Microsofts's windows are most widely used. Microsoft's office is the most popular software ever built. Microsoft Age of Empires, every gamer on the planet knows what it is. MSN competing with google, hotmail not enough but still providing email service so competing with gmail. MSN messenger, Good so competing with GTalk. Microsoft = MCP, MCSD, MCDBA. I think Microsoft is competing with every one on this planet. And in past they have been successful. Once I have read in one of the MCSD books. "One guy says that the internet is the pond and IT companies are fishes in it. The biggest fish is microsoft." Other says "That Microsoft is not the biggest fish in the pond. Microsoft is the pond itself. Other are fish in it."
Google will give Microsoft a run for their money shortly as the operating system moves off the destop and into the virtual Net. Meaning I can access my files and text editors all online securely. But, Microsoft has not been an innovator for some years now. In the end, their strategy is to throw massive amounts of cash at the problem resulting in a slow victory. Nonetheless, it is a victory.
K what are your ideas on the Microsoft's latest programming platform, .NET. About the CLR (Common Language Runtime) thing. I think that was innovative. And yeah v1nce is right. They have money and money can hire big brains. So they get victories in end.
I think Microsoft these days are not meeting thier deadlines as they told to lauch Vista in 2005 but now they say they will launch in 2007. So two years of gap is a hell lot of time in Internet Business and People was having much expectations but all ...... for two years.
There will be no winner. Microsoft will beat Sony in the gaming market in the next 10 years i think, but loses the mail en search angine competition to Google. They will still keep their Live Mail, MSN Search, etc, etc, but Google will be (stay) the big one on the internet. They will keep their dominance with Windows and Office it think.
