Microsoft Steps Up Battle with Google | |

Gates, Microsoft's co-founder and chief software architect, said he was skeptical of Google's ability to maintain its dominance in the search marketplace indefinitely. Increasingly, he asserted, that competition would revolve around new technologies and take place in new arenas. Bill Gates has used his appearance at an industry conference to offer Microsoft's response to Google's latest online offerings, announcing the incorporation of satellite imagery into location-based search results and introducing a customizable MSN "start" page. "Google is still perfect; the bubble is floating, and they can do everything," Gates told the moderator sarcastically at a conference Monday on digital technology, sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, at a resort in this city north of San Diego. "You should buy their stock at any price." He then added, "We had a 10-year period just like that." | ||

| Google got popular because they adopted the "keep it simple" strategy. A simple page with a search button. Let's see what will happen in the next months... |

I think it is interesting that Google has opened themselves up for a massive lawsuit by allowing Ben Goodger to post exploit code that could trash any PC running Firefox 1.03 and below (95%) and Netscape 8.
Now Ben may think he is doing a public service by pointing out that Firefox code is insecure, but Google is liable for his actions. |

#5 Well, if I was dumb enough to use Firefox, I would be unhappy to know the lead engineer is posting exploit code and I wouldn't think of tht action as "comedic".
But since I don't use Firefox, I admit I think its a hoot! |

Gentlemen,
Back to the post at hand….Google is now setting the pace. Hmmm…Let’s see in this article. Google is doing search so well that MSN search gets in the act. Google starts posting satellite maps, so now MSN is doing the same. I predict more will follow. MS is following and making no money on it. This must chap Gates’ butt. Where will it end.....Google Linux for the desktop. Don’t rule it out gentlemen. |

#9 Well, the porn accelerator didn't do so well. Or was it the malware pre-loader?

| olddog, you are wrong about satellite mapping. Do you really think MSFT concocted its service in the week since google added their service? And as quux pointed out, you are also forgetting terraserver. |
