Google at its best!

Microsoft Chief Software Architect aka Bill Gates
"They (Google) are more like us than any of our other competitors"


Microsoft Consultancy Services, Microsoft Security Expert, Author of famous books aka Steve Riley
"The best way to search msdn is to install Google toolbar, go to msdn.microsoft.com and then search using that"


The two quotes I have heard in the last month, the latter yesterday during a user group addressing, clearly shows the dominance of Google and the envious looks its attracting from its neighbours in the Silicon Valley :) Google net income of 2004 is 2000 times lesser than Microsoft, yet these guys are scared like hell about Google encroaching upon its territory with outrageously superior technology and service orientation. Ofcourse, intelligent users are also scared about Google becoming another Microsoft and bossing over, bringing abt another "Corporate" culture.

As the famous quote by Dr. Senthil goes: "Infarmation is wealth". Its a bit scary what those guys can do with so much of info that they have! On its way to its 7th anniversary, Google is just the hottest thing to have in ur comp! Probably they shud come out with a cool desktop wallpaper..hihi

PS: If google ever do this, they shud pay me for this contextual advertising..After all, thats their keyword aint it? ;)

But cant stop wondering about their moto: "Dont be evil" - How long?

Google has ventured into the "Do no evil" area a few times in the recent past: Google Personalized and Google Accelerator. Even the Desktop 2 Sidebar implementation is rude on the end users because it takes up the left or right panel of your monitor. They have to watch their step.

All that apart, innovation is now Google's middle name! These guys rock! :)

Monopoly is always dangerous. It happened to Microsoft. It might happen to Google.

Google.. an universal solution to all unanswered questions...

the name sounds cool too..

goin to be great as long as its free...

and yeah.. I really wonder if people use the MSN search tool or even the yahoo search.. the MSN often returns completely different, unrelated and redundant links for my search.. I have always like google.. the page also is more pleasant to look at then the other search pages..

If you dint know, Yahoo search actually uses Google engine for about 2.5 yrs now. So yahoo search aint too bad either ;)

Yahoo tries to differentiate itself as a portal site, not just a search engine as Google is predominantly known even today.
