Google deal 'doesn't threaten Microsoft - yet' | |

Microsoft's dominance of the computer desktop will not be challenged by Google's partnership with Sun Microsystems, according to analysts. But the deal may provide a clue to the internet search engine's next move. Sun and Google announced yesterday that they would promote and distribute jointly each other’s products. Under the deal, Google's toolbar will offer as an option downloaders of Sun's popular code-compiling engine, Java Desktop. In return, Google will look at ways of distributing OpenOffice, a suite of business applications that is distributed for free and competes with Microsoft's core Office package. | ||

Only the paranoid will survive, Microsoft has every right to be worried about this partnership. This is an indicator of future behavior, they are clearly targeting MS's cash cow. According to the article MS should be worried. When should they worry? when they start to lose market share? With everything moving to a web base platform challenges to the desktop will be easier. It is better to be paranoid and be wrong than to do nothing and be right.

I'm not so sure I want the company (Google) who's sole existance in life is to shove an advertisement into every nook and cranny of your daily living existance to be the company to knock Microsoft off it's mountain.
Think about it. TL |
