Microsoft will be better than Google | |

| Time: 08:02 EST/13:02 GMT | News Source: the inquirer | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Twice as good to be precise MICROSOFT'S Head Vole in Europe, Neil Holloway, says that in six months time Microsoft will be more important than Google in the US market place. Speaking at the Reuters Global Technology, Media and Telecoms Summit, Holloway, who is Microsoft president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said that Vole is planning a better search engine than Google. Holloway said that the new search engine will go beyond finding URLs and instead focus on the specific information sought by Internet users. | ||

#2 Is this better?: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=technologyNews&storyid=2006-03-01T211748Z_01_L01660811_RTRUKOC_0_US-SUMMIT-MICROSFT-GOOGLE.xml&rpc=22

| This claim is worthless. As long as I can find what I am looking for within the first page of the list of results (which I always do) there's no way that I am going to start using another search engine. "twice as good" (whatever that may mean) is not going to cut it. |

We will see in 6 months and see how it does. If it does better, then it will be default otherwise I will stay with current search provider that I usually use.

| yeah google, like apple, is some kind of great company that sits apart from the rest. Come on - don't believe the BS hype for any company. If you do you just become a fan boy. |

#6, I don't think #2 understands the brand of humor used.
Truth is #2, they only mean to present IT news with a bit of humor and flare. It's just a very different type of humor - and they make that mistake just as we do and on occasion, they can't see our brand of humor, either. In a dry way, their reference to MS as "The Vole" isn't nearly as serious as you might take them to mean it - in reality, it is an acknowledgement of just how significant a role MS plays in most things that touch business and personal computing. Like any people looking at the US, they do harbor some anxiety about us - we're not just huge, we're so powerful that there is literally no reference in history to which one may compare us to - not even imperial Rome had the power to completely anihilate other nations and I do mean reduce to dust. The US has become so militarily sophisticated that it can do this without resorting to the use of WMD and that scares the pants off of a lot of people. I'm sure the Romans saw their share of similar resentment. I don't think that even a 100% loss of foreign oil would do us in - we'd shift so fast toward bio based fuels and refine that - BIO diesel for example, from waste frying grease - we are just freakishly inventive that way and worse, we love a good fight. And money - gawd, there is really no comparison at all, because we have no way of measuring our largely knowlegde based economy - I mean for example, the sale of iPods isn't even counted in our GDP and while small, so many thousands of examples populating the US shadow economy are the same. Some estimate it is 3 to 5 times present GDP and growing faster and at less cost than any other economy. Given how we are seen and what we are, I'd let them slide and beside that no country ever had as good a friend as we do in the British. Well...may be they in us! |
